Comment on Baidu now accepts Bitcoinparent

An increase in transaction volume, which is what your link shows, is not a 'rally', which is a price increase.

That link was meant to show a suspiciously large jump in the volume of Chinese bitcoin exchanges relative to other exchanges. It wasn't intended to show the price increase.

To see the price increase, you can look at any of the charts at http://bitcoincharts.com. But since the exchanges strongly influence each other because of arbitrage, price charts won't tell you anything about the role of Chinese exchanges in the increase.

It certainly sounded like that was what you intended. A transaction volume increase is interesting, but on Reddit I have read comments stating that the exchanges in some cases have started charging no fees - which sounds like it's possible that the increases are entirely spurious and due to, say, bots going nuts.
