Very, very interesting. No such thing as a coincidence beyond 3 occurrences, imho. This actually reminds me of Time-Weighted Average Price strategies.
From Wikipedia: "In finance, time-weighted average price (TWAP) is the average price of a security over a specified time.
TWAP is also sometimes used to describe a TWAP card, that is a strategy that will attempt to execute an order and achieve the TWAP or better. A TWAP strategy underpins more sophisticated ways of buying and selling than simply executing orders en masse: for example, dumping a huge number of shares in one block is likely to affect market perceptions, with an adverse effect on the price.
High-volume traders use TWAP to execute their orders over a specific time so they trade to keep the price close to that which reflects the true market price. TWAP orders are a strategy of executing trades evenly over a specified time period. Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) balances execution with volume. Often, a VWAP trade will buy or sell 40% of a trade in the first half of the day and then the other 60% in the second half of the day. A TWAP trade would most likely execute an even 50/50 volume in the first and second half of the day." (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-weighted_average_price)

@PhiChris, Thanks! I am starting to believe this is really Gox related, coins released at certain time zone and dumping happens. I would love to know how many coins are still waiting to be dumped.

This is a great chart, congrats. You're one of the few people here who found a pattern with predictive power. Mt. Gox moved 5k BTC out of its wallet on Mach 6th. I think they have been dumping 1k BTC a day since then. Each dump is exacerbated by panic selling. As of today they're probably done dumping.

The next story will be of people excited that the Mt. Gox folks are buying it all back. xD
