bitcoinica has something to do with all this.. shorting.. margin trading.. fun stuff.

Super thin market that's easily moved (mostly by bots) coupled with margin trading and short selling is indeed a fun combination for anyone wanting to manipulate the market and make a lot of money quickly.  Anyone margin trading bitcoins is in for a world of hurt, just like on Sunday.

It's not that there isn't many trades happening, it's just that a lot more trades go on during a crash or a fast rise in price.

14 hours so far, it's not changed.  I've seen it do this for such a long time.
