If Gox enables btc withdrawals, arbitrage will lower price on Bitstamp.
I imagine the price will go up on Gox with the impending fix in place. By the time it is actually live there may only be a $100 difference.
Sure, price will jump on gox. But the main buyer left will be Billy cause he's been the main seller.
In this current price range, volume traded in this range is over 80,000 btc, while the accumulation of coins is spread over thousands of buyers.
The price snap back at Mt.Gox will be biblical. People are so pissed of, and getting fiat withdrawals working will not be so easy.
Look what they are now willing to sell a Bitcoin for, even they cannot get the money out, imagine what they will be willing to pay for a Bitcoin which they are able to withdraw immediately.
