MTGox is down? Price jump $40 in a night - things getting crazy!

I really would like to buy more, but I am unsure if it is normalizing soon (back to 100$) or hiking like gold did last year.

Don't know if we can trust that link at the moment: it's showing the last trade as "an hour ago".

It's right; MtGox has been down/frozen for the past hour (at the time of this post). Bitcoinity is a pretty solid site in my experience.

According to that graph, mtgox stopped responding and they've been displaying the last available price since then.
