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.
The thing is, there are plenty of bots trading with plenty of settings. It's all part of the market and quite normal. These things have to be factored in to any trading analysis.
Considering that Bitcoin is generally in an uptrend it's normal that when the strategy of bots is summed it tends to follow this.
