Guys the joke on us, I've been watching Mtgox and bitstamp and simply some smart people are slowly buying small batches of 20-50 BTC each hour and it has been happening for the last couple of day.

It is actually the same bullshit Gox bot that was identified a couple weeks ago. At least on Gox. People call it the "Willy" bot and is likely run by MtGox since it had trading access while everyone else was shut out of Gox for an hour+ last week. Most of this current rise on Gox is the Willy bot. Buys around 15btc every 7-10 minutes.

No- Huobi lead this small rise. BTC-E has also been relatively strong this weekend. You can't just blame bots.

I didn't say Gox lead the rise over all the exchanges, I said Gox alone. The bot on Gox has been doing the majority of buying over the last couple hours. I didn't originally identify this bot nor am I the only one who sees it exists. For Gox yes one can blame the bot. It buys 15 every 7 or so minutes and there has been a lot of volume. It is rather easy to spot.

there is maybe more then 1000 bots on Gox, currently 1207 on btc-e. When access via web interface is not available, bots still can trade connecting via API. So, it does not means that it is bot which run by Gox. Hard to believe Gox will do some shady things as this, it will be spotted rather quick and bad for reputation.
