(An MtGox bitcoin can currently be sold for 0.4 bitcoin, so this was quite a lot of money being lost or made over the last hour.)
Can someone explain this?
It has been months now since Gox separated from all other markets. First their value was hundreds higher than all others, but no one really cared because it was irrelevant - you can't withdraw fiat, and bitcoin was having trouble getting out too.
Then Gox value went below, and it was concerning so price on other exchanges were affected, but Gox was still irrelevant because their problems are unique to them, and not anything inherent with bitcoin. All withdrawals are shut down, and their last update said there's no news since the last update, and it didn't state when or if they would provide the next update on progress.
Also, your statement implies a consensus in market perception. Please don't take that from whatever the media is saying. Or whatever people on the internet are saying. Take it from the data - look at what the market is saying on exchanges, with their money. Most people don't care what the price is no Gox, and other exchanges are actively trading hundreds of dollars higher.
