Why is volume on gox so low though? Last week we still had 100k+ volume

bitstamp:
Sliding ask wall at 124.57$ broken through! (It started around 124.40$, ended at 124.57$, and varied in height but was up to 1000BTC tall, and if I count restockings, I'd guess between 1500BTC and 2000BTC overall.)
1200BTC to reach 126$, which means that the spread between bitstamp and mt.gox is growing again, bitcoins can't be bought up fast enough.

Has anyone else noticed that when there's memes or GIFs in this thread, that the their implied predictions more often than not tend to be dead wrong, or at least mildly wrong..?
I wonder if that's something to do with the emotional traders, who are not logical and robotic enough, that resort to unrelated past experiences to justify their beliefs. .
Alas, let's see what tomorrow holds!

I think they're just meant to be sarcastically ironic and funny, GIFs aren't that deep
Thank you. Someone needs a spliff...

There was just an interesting ask wall of 130BTC at 122.75 on bitstamp. It did not last long...
But interesting because it gave me the chance to rebuy the coins I foolishly sold at 123.0 yesterday. Still a small loss after fees, but almost nothing.
I am all in again
It was cool to eat that wall But interesting because it gave me the chance to rebuy the coins I foolishly sold at 123.0 yesterday. Still a small loss after fees, but almost nothing.

Actually it did last long for so good price - 1 minute.

Have you bought your bitcoin yet as the choo choo leaves the station?
Get it now...

I am seeing a very interesting technique being used on bitstamp right now:
Instead of placing a huge ask wall, someone is setting down ~40BTC orders spaced 0.01 apart. But only a few at once, and filling them up as they get eaten.
This means that the upward trend does not get broken, it just slows down to a crawl. And the person gets to sell all of his BTC at high prices, because the confidence of the buyers is unshaken.
Pretty slick operator, if you ask me...

You have to ask yourself why someone's so desperate to sell off a large amount of Bitcoin.

That spike was no doubt instigated by the transfer of most of my coins into cold storage.
Bitcoin's way of saying to me, "Oh so you don't want to trade eh?"
That wall at $130 is being eroded.

Looking at the buy pressure on both bitstamp and mt.gox - not enough for me to follow his lead, not even short term.And yes, ask wall at 128.0$ on mt.gox just got eaten! (850BTC)

Bye bye $128 wall

If you could see the pattern with your bare eyes, it's hardly subtle. HFTs would eat this kind of obvious pattern for breakfast in real markets, the price would run constantly just out of reach of all but the highest bid, knowing they had a big fish on the line.

I don't think the bots on our exchanges are that sophisticated yet...
But you are right, there are still obvious ways to improve on it: don't place as many orders in advance, and vary the spacing, timing and amount more, to make it look disconnected.
Still, it is working, and he is doing it at the right point of time, so he is slick enough.
Edit: here you can see him placing new sell orders:
