Pulled out my bitcoin app and it was defaulted to Kraken. I noticed the price high was $2589. Some crazy anomoly from the looks of it.

You sure that's the USD price and not CAD?

Current CAD prices at Bitcoinaverage are $2539 global and $2648 CAD index. I always quote global prices.

It was a fat finger 1000 BTC buy. Why anyone would use USD on Kraken is beyond me. It's a very creaky set up over there and as that price demonstrates rather thin.

I have sometimes used USD on kraken for leaving crazy bid and asks just in case that sort of slippage happens due to the thin order book. Not doing it anymore, but I guess I should get back to it.

Ok, I have now put some BTC for sale at $2390. If whoever did it want to repeat that stunt and sell up to $2539 again, I am ready now

I will inmediately rebuy at the EUR order book if that happens.
