Everything you need to read liquidation risk
Where forced orders are waiting, how big they are, what happens if they fire, and what is actually being liquidated right now.
Liquidation heatmap over time
Estimated liquidation levels for long and short positions, painted behind live candles and built up over the last 1, 4, 12 or 24 hours. A band ends exactly where price traded through it and liquidated those positions.
Liquidation clusters with size and distance
Zones where liquidations pile up are found automatically and labelled on the chart with their estimated dollar size and distance from price, so you can see what is close and what is big at a glance.
Liquidation cascade check
For the nearest cluster on each side: trigger price, estimated liquidations, the price push they are likely to cause and whether that push reaches the next cluster. Labelled potential cascade, possible cascade or likely absorbed.
Real liquidations, live
Every liquidation order from Binance and Bybit as it happens, in a feed and as bubbles on the chart, with running totals of longs and shorts liquidated since you opened the page.
Liquidation profile
A side profile of what is still waiting at each price right now: long liquidations below price in red, short liquidations above in green, so you can see which side is more crowded.
Binance + Bybit, 1H to 24H
Combine both exchanges or view one at a time, switch the lookback between 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours, and change the leverage mix the map assumes.
From liquidation map to trade plan in four reads
- 1
Pick a coin and lookback
Choose any of 31 markets and a 1H, 4H, 12H or 24H lookback. Shorter lookbacks show fresh leverage; longer ones show the levels that have built up.
- 2
Find the big clusters
Bright bands and the profile show where liquidations are stacked. Note the nearest cluster on each side and how far away it is.
- 3
Check the cascade
The cascade panel tells you whether hitting the nearest cluster is likely to carry price into the next one, or whether the book will probably absorb it.
- 4
Confirm with real liquidations
When price reaches a cluster, watch the live feed: a burst of real liquidations confirms the forced orders are firing.
Every panel of the liquidation heatmap, explained
Real screenshots from a live BTCUSDT session, with what each part shows and how to use it.
The heatmap and the liquidation profile
The coloured bands are estimated liquidation levels. Each band starts when new leveraged positions were opened and runs to the right for as long as they survive. Dark purple means little is waiting there; blue, green, yellow and white mean progressively more.
When price trades through a band, it ends: those positions were liquidated. The profile on the right edge shows what is still waiting at each price right now, long liquidations below price in red and short liquidations above in green. Labels mark the biggest clusters with their estimated size and distance.
- Hover anywhere on the chart to see the estimated long and short liquidations at that price.
- Turn the heatmap, profile, live liquidation bubbles and cascade arrows on or off from the toolbar.
- Bands that ended just as price reversed are often where a squeeze ran out of fuel.
The liquidation map at a glance
The top of the side panel sums up the picture around the current price: total estimated short liquidations above and long liquidations below within the search range, and the nearest cluster on each side with its price, distance and size.
A bar shows the balance between the two sides, with a plain-English read of which side is more crowded. A note underneath tells you which exchanges the map is built from and when it was last updated.
The liquidation cascade check
For each side, the panel follows the chain step by step: the trigger price where the first liquidations start, the estimated liquidations there, the price push they are likely to cause, and the next cluster with its distance.
If the push would carry price into the core of the next cluster, the card says potential liquidation cascade and the chart draws an arrow to where the chain could end. If it gets close, possible cascade. Otherwise, likely absorbed.
Liquidation clusters
The cluster list shows the zones where liquidations pile up, short clusters above the current price and long clusters below, each with its price range, distance and estimated size. A bar makes the biggest ones stand out.
Clusters form because traders open positions in bursts at similar leverage, so their liquidation prices bunch together. Large, close clusters are the ones price tends to be drawn to.
Live liquidations
This part is not an estimate: it is every liquidation order the exchanges report, streamed live from Binance and Bybit. Each row shows the time, exchange, whether a long or short was liquidated, the price and the size.
Running totals show how much long and short exposure has been liquidated since you opened the page, and each liquidation also appears as a bubble on the chart, sized by value.
Settings: the leverage mix
The map assumes new positions use a mix of 5×, 10×, 25×, 50× and 100× leverage. Switch tiers off to see where only high-leverage or only low-leverage traders would be liquidated, and adjust the heatmap brightness for busy or quiet markets.
Putting it together: reading one setup
How the pieces combine on a real chart, step by step. This is a way of reading risk, not a trading signal.
- 1BTC is trading at about $83,290. The map shows $200M of estimated long liquidations within 4% below price against $158M of shorts above, so the downside is the more crowded side.
- 2The nearest long cluster sits at $82,525, 0.9% below, with about $76M waiting. The nearest short cluster is at $84,175, 1.1% above, with about $19M.
- 3Downside check: if price trades into the long cluster from $83,000, its forced selling is estimated to push price about 0.7% lower. The next long cluster, $98M at $80,875, is 1.6% beyond that, so the push falls short: likely absorbed.
- 4Upside check: from a trigger at $84,000, about $108M of short liquidations could push price roughly 1% higher, close to the next cluster at $86,625, 1.3% away. That is a possible cascade, a close call worth watching.
- 5Meanwhile the live feed shows what is actually happening: $590k of longs liquidated on Binance and Bybit within seconds as price dipped toward $83,230, and no shorts. The map says the downside is crowded, and the real liquidations confirm longs are the ones being forced out.

Frequently asked questions
Is this liquidation heatmap really free?+
Yes. The liquidation heatmap, clusters, cascade check and live liquidation feed are free for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins and every other supported market. You only need a free Tradeskill account: no credit card, no trial that expires.
How accurate is a liquidation heatmap?+
It is an estimate. No exchange publishes where open positions will be liquidated, so the map is modelled from open interest changes every five minutes, taker buy and sell flow, price and a typical 5× to 100× leverage mix. It is good at showing where risk is concentrated and which side is crowded, not at predicting an exact price. The live liquidation feed beside it is real exchange data.
Where does the data come from?+
Directly from Binance and Bybit public market data: five-minute open interest history and live open interest, candles with taker buy volume, and the exchanges’ real-time liquidation streams.
How is a liquidation cascade estimated?+
For the nearest cluster on each side, the tool multiplies its estimated size by how far price has typically moved per $1M of market orders over the last 24 hours. If that push would carry price into the core of the next cluster, with a safety margin, it flags a potential liquidation cascade.
What do the 1H, 4H, 12H and 24H options change?+
How far back positions are counted. 1H shows only the leverage opened in the last hour, the freshest and often most fragile positions. 24H shows everything still open from the last day.
Which markets are supported?+
31 markets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, XRP, Cardano, Gold, Avalanche, Chainlink, TRON, Polkadot, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, NEAR Protocol, Sui, Stellar, Hedera, Uniswap, Aave, Bittensor, Aptos, Arbitrum, Optimism, Injective, Render, Polygon (POL), Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, Bonk, dogwifhat. Data comes from the USDT perpetuals on Binance and Bybit, including XAUUSDT for gold.
Is it a Coinglass alternative?+
It covers the same idea, a modelled liquidation heatmap, and adds a cascade check and a live liquidation feed from Binance and Bybit on one screen. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Coinglass.
Is this financial advice?+
No. The map shows where liquidation risk is likely concentrated, not what price will do. Use it for education and practise your reads risk-free in the paper trading simulator before trading real money.
