Crypto Liquidation Heatmap

The Crypto Liquidation Heatmap condenses forced-liquidation activity across the top 29 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization into one ranked display. Assets with the heaviest estimated liquidations sort to the top, so leverage flushes stand out instantly — the same forced closures that stack into liquidation clusters around crowded price zones. And unlike a resting liquidity heatmap, which maps orders waiting in the book, this display tracks positions already being closed by force.

How to Trade the Crypto Liquidation Heatmap?

• Ranking: boxes sort in descending order of liquidation value — the top rows are where leverage is being flushed hardest right now.
• Green boxes: long liquidations exceed shorts, the footprint of longs forced out as price drops.
• Red boxes: short liquidations dominate — shorts squeezed by a price spike.
• Hover details: each box reveals the asset's current price, its long and short liquidation breakdown, and the timeframe measured.

Complete liquidation feeds are not readily available, so the tool estimates values from the strong relationship between liquidations, trading volume, and price movement. Read the heatmap as proportion and trend rather than exact totals.

Crypto Liquidation Heatmap Settings

• Crypto Asset Options: the monitored list, defaulting to the top 29 cryptos by market cap from a single exchange; only crypto assets are supported.
• Position / Size: where the heatmap anchors on the chart and how large it renders.

Keep every selected instrument on the same exchange and quoted in the same currency (USD, USDT, USDC, USDP, or USDD) — volumes differ across venues, and mixed quotes skew the estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the liquidation values exact?

No. Exchanges do not broadcast complete liquidation data, so the heatmap estimates it from volume and price behavior. The relative sizes and the long/short balance are the signal — treat absolute figures as approximations.

Can I see liquidation zones on a single chart instead?

Yes. The heatmap is the market-wide overview, while Liquidation Levels plots estimated liquidation price zones directly on one asset's chart for level-by-level analysis.
