$22 difference between Coinbase price and CoinMarketcap (Please no trolling)

At the time of this posting--

Coinbase: $382.34

Coinmarketcap: $360.57

I have never seen a divergence this wide between these two.  Is this a glitch or is indicative of something else?  Does anyone know how the two are calculated or averaged? I'm very curious.

Cmc.com is down for me.

Must have randomly chosen the dumpster exchange BTCE.

Price is quoted off their own exchange, if I'm not mistaken. It's usually a few dollars over coinmarketcap. Should correct towards closer parity soon.

It's showing $382.98 on coinmarketcap for me. Maybe there was a brief spike down on an exchange like btc-e that made the average price $360.57. One brief extreme price on an exchange can make a large difference to the coinmarketcap average for any coin.

CMC showing $382 again... Crazy!
