Topic: Bitstamp: what are these crazy price spikes? (Read 714 times)
Thanks, I hadn't found that one! I'll post there instead.
Hey everyone,
On bitcoincharts there have been a few dramatic price spikes shown for bitstampusd. I first noticed it last night, where the price went from $133 to $129 and back again within a minute. A little later it did it again, and then it went from $135 to $141 and back again before dropping to $130 and coming back.
Is the price actually moving that much during these spikes, or it is a bug? I have a standing order to buy at $131, but just a few minutes ago the price dropped to $130 and came back and my order wasn't filled. I have a friend who said the same thing, about their order not being filled when bitcoincharts said the price moved past their price point and came back.
