How to Read This Liquidation Heatmap

What This Chart Shows

The Liquidation Heatmap shows where leveraged positions would get force-closed if price reaches certain levels, overlaid on a live candlestick chart. Unlike the Liquidation Map (which shows total exposure as bars), the heatmap shows how liquidation density is distributed across both price and time — so you can see how liquidity has evolved and which levels have already been consumed by price.

The Two Axes

  • X-axis (horizontal): Time. The chart shows candlestick price action over the selected timeframe (12h to 3m). As you move right, you see the most recent data.
  • Y-axis (vertical): Price levels. The heatmap extends above and below the current price, showing where liquidation clusters sit at each point in time.

The Color Gradient

Liquidity density is shown as a color gradient overlaid on the chart:

  • Sky blue (below price): Long liquidation clusters. Brighter blue = thicker long liquidity at that price level. If price drops into a bright blue zone, long positions get force-sold, accelerating the move down.
  • Magenta (above price): Short liquidation clusters. Brighter magenta = thicker short liquidity at that price level. If price rises into a bright magenta zone, short positions get force-bought, accelerating the move up.
  • Dark void: Areas where price has already swept through and consumed the liquidity. These levels have been cleared — the forced flow has already triggered and the fuel is spent.

The brighter the color, the thicker the liquidity. Think of bright zones as magnets — price tends to be drawn toward them because that is where forced flow would accelerate.

The Wipe Effect

As price moves through a liquidation cluster, those positions get liquidated. The heatmap shows this as a fading or "wiping" of the color — the liquidity has been consumed. You can see the trail of where price has already been, which helps you distinguish between fresh liquidity (bright, untouched) and spent liquidity (dark, already swept).

This is the key difference from the Liquidation Map tab: the heatmap shows what has been consumed, while the bar chart shows total estimated exposure regardless of whether price has reached it.

The Candlestick Chart

The candlesticks show actual price action for the selected timeframe. The heatmap is overlaid on the candles so you can see how price has interacted with liquidation zones. Key things to watch:

  • Candles that push into bright zones and reverse — price tested the liquidity and bounced.
  • Candles that push into bright zones and continue — the cascade has triggered, fuel is being consumed.
  • Gaps between candle wicks and bright zones — price has not yet reached the liquidity, so it remains as a future magnet.

The Liquidation Dots

Small dots on the chart mark actual liquidation prints (when available from exchange APIs):

  • Blue dots: Long positions that were liquidated — forced sells.
  • Magenta dots: Short positions that were liquidated — forced buys.

These confirm where real liquidations have occurred, as opposed to the estimated heatmap which shows where they would occur.

How to Use It — Trade Setups

  • Bright zone below price: Downside target. Price may gravitate toward it. If reached, expect acceleration downward through the zone, then a reversal once the fuel is spent.
  • Bright zone above price: Upside target. A breakout may accelerate into this zone before reversing.
  • Dark void below price: Support has been swept — the liquidity is gone. Price may not find strong buying here again unless new positions build up.
  • Bright zone with no price interaction yet: Fresh liquidity. This is a future magnet that has not been tested. Higher probability of being reached.
  • Multiple bright zones stacked: A cascade path. If the nearest zone is hit, the resulting move may chain into the next zone below/above.

Choosing a Timeframe

  • 12h–24h: Short-term trading. Shows liquidation zones from the last day. Best for intraday setups and identifying near-term magnets.
  • 48h–3d: Swing trading. Shows zones built over a few days. Balances recent data with enough history to see patterns.
  • 1w–2w: Position trading. Shows the broader liquidation landscape. Useful for identifying major liquidity pools that could attract price over a week or more.
  • 1m–3m: Macro view. Shows long-term liquidation structure. Useful for identifying where large clusters have built up over extended periods.

What This Chart Does NOT Do

  • It does not predict price direction. It shows where forced flow would accelerate if price gets there.
  • It is not a real-time order book. Values are estimated from OI, leverage tiers, and candle data.
  • The wipe effect shows estimated consumption — actual liquidations may differ if positions were closed manually before liquidation.
  • It does not account for hedged positions, cross-exchange arbitrage, or OTC desks that do not appear in public data.
  • Smaller timeframes show less data and may appear noisier. Use larger timeframes for structural analysis.

Stack With Other Signals

The Heatmap is strongest when combined with:

  • Liquidation Map tab: Shows the same data as a bar chart with exact dollar values and cumulative lines. Use it to quantify what the heatmap shows visually.
  • Max Pain Scanner tab: Scans the top 100 assets by volume to find which coins have the most concentrated liquidation exposure. Use it to find opportunities across the market, then switch to the heatmap for detailed analysis.
  • Funding Rate: High positive funding + bright downside zone = longs are crowded and vulnerable. Negative funding + bright upside zone = shorts are crowded.
  • Price Structure: Bright zones that align with support/resistance, prior swing highs/lows, or key moving averages are higher-probability targets.
  • Volume: High-volume candles pushing into bright zones confirm strong participation. Low-volume candles reaching for bright zones may lack the momentum to trigger a cascade.

Discipline is measured by adhering to the rules and wins, not profit. Use this tool to manage risk, not to chase moves.

How to Read This Liquidation Map

What This Chart Shows

The Liquidation Map estimates where leveraged positions would get force-closed if price reaches certain levels. It is a model, not a live order book — values are inferred from open interest, leverage tiers, and recent price action. Treat clusters as zones, not precise targets.

The Axes

  • X-axis (horizontal): Price levels, centered on the current price. The range covers about ±10% above and below.
  • Left Y-axis: Estimated liquidation volume at each price level (dollar notional).
  • Right Y-axis: Cumulative liquidation totals — the running sum as you move away from current price.

Bars by Leverage Tier

Each bar is colored by the leverage tier of the positions that would be liquidated at that price:

  • 5x–10x — Lower leverage. Liquidation levels sit farther from current price (10–20% away). These are longer-term magnets.
  • 25x — Medium leverage. Liquidation levels are 4% from entry. Often the thickest clusters.
  • 50x — Higher leverage. Liquidation levels sit 2% from entry. Shorter-term impact.
  • 100x — High leverage. Liquidation levels are just 1% away. These trigger first and hit hardest.
  • 200x — Extreme leverage. Liquidation levels sit within 0.5% of entry. Flash-crash fuel.

Bars Left vs. Right of Current Price

  • Bars below current price (left): Long liquidation clusters. If price drops into this zone, long positions get force-sold, accelerating the move down.
  • Bars above current price (right): Short liquidation clusters. If price rises into this zone, short positions get force-bought, accelerating the move up.

Cumulative Lines

The two curved lines show the running total of liquidation exposure as price moves away from current price:

  • Red line (Cum. Long): Total long liquidation exposure building below current price. A steep rise means a large downside magnet.
  • Teal line (Cum. Short): Total short liquidation exposure building above current price. A steep rise means a large upside magnet.

Where the line rises steeply, a dense cluster sits — that is where price is likely to be pulled toward. Where the line flattens, liquidation fuel is thin and price may stall or reverse.

The Cascading Effect

When price reaches a liquidation cluster, forced closures trigger as market orders. A long liquidation is a forced sell — that selling pushes price down, hitting the next cluster of long liquidations below, which triggers more forced selling. This is a liquidation cascade: each level swept fuels the move to the next.

The same works in reverse for short liquidations above price. A short liquidation is a forced buy — that buying pushes price up into the next short cluster, triggering more forced buying.

How to Use It — Trade Setups

  • Thick cluster below price: Downside target. Price tends to gravitate toward it. If reached, expect acceleration downward through the cluster, then a reversal once the fuel is spent.
  • Thick cluster above price: Upside target. A breakout above current range may accelerate into this zone before reversing.
  • Symmetric clusters both sides: Expect choppy, whipsaw price action until one side resolves. Wait for a catalyst to pick the direction.
  • Thin clusters both sides: Low liquidation fuel. Price may drift slowly without dramatic moves. Range-bound conditions.
  • High leverage (100x–200x) cluster near price: Flash-crash or flash-pump risk. These trigger fast and hit hard but clear quickly.

What This Map Does NOT Do

  • It does not predict price direction. It shows where forced flow would accelerate if price gets there.
  • It is not a real-time order book. Values are estimated from public data (OI, leverage tiers, liquidation streams) and may be off by 5–15%.
  • Headline dollar values are notional, not realized losses. A $10M liquidation at 10x leverage represents about $1M in actual trader losses.
  • It does not account for hedged positions, cross-exchange arbitrage, or institutional OTC desks that do not appear in public data.

Stack With Other Signals

The Liquidation Map is strongest when combined with:

  • Open Interest: High OI + a thick nearby cluster = cascade-prone environment. A small catalyst can trigger a large move.
  • Funding Rate: Positive funding + thick downside cluster = longs are over-leveraged and crowded. Negative funding + thick upside cluster = shorts are crowded and squeeze-ready.
  • Price Structure: Clusters that align with support/resistance levels, prior swing highs/lows, or key moving averages are higher-probability targets.

How to Read the Max Pain Scanner

What This Tool Does

The Max Pain Scanner estimates the price level where the largest concentration of liquidations would occur for each asset. It pulls live data from Bitget (open interest, funding rate, volume) and calculates liquidation levels at standard leverage tiers (5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x). The level with the highest estimated liquidation volume is the max pain price.

What Is Max Pain?

Max pain is the price at which the most leveraged positions would be force-closed simultaneously. When price reaches this level, forced liquidations cluster tightly, creating a cascade of market orders that accelerates the move. Think of it as the magnetic price — the level the market is drawn toward because that's where the most forced flow sits.

The term comes from options trading (max pain theory), but in crypto futures it refers to the price where leveraged longs or shorts are most concentrated and vulnerable.

The Table Columns

  • Symbol: The trading pair (e.g., BTC = Bitcoin/USDT perpetual).
  • Price: Current live price from the exchange.
  • Short Max Pain: The price above current where short positions would concentrate and get liquidated. If price rises to this level, shorts get force-bought, accelerating the move up.
  • Short Vol: Estimated dollar volume of short liquidations at the max pain level.
  • Short Dist: How far the short max pain level is from current price, as a percentage. Closer = more likely to be tested soon.
  • Long Max Pain: The price below current where long positions would concentrate and get liquidated. If price drops to this level, longs get force-sold, accelerating the move down.
  • Long Vol: Estimated dollar volume of long liquidations at the max pain level.
  • Long Dist: How far the long max pain level is from current price, as a percentage.
  • Sources: Which exchange(s) provided the data (Bitget, or Bitget + Bybit).
  • Setup: A quick-read classification based on distance and volume balance.

Understanding the Setup Column

  • Short Squeeze: Short max pain is within 3% of current price AND short volume significantly exceeds long volume. A small upward push could trigger cascading short liquidations — a sharp, fast move up.
  • Long Squeeze: Long max pain is within 3% of current price AND long volume significantly exceeds short volume. A small downward push could trigger cascading long liquidations — a sharp, fast move down.
  • Upside Bias: Short liquidation volume is 1.5x or more the long volume. Price may gravitate upward to sweep the short liquidity, but the max pain level is not yet close enough for an imminent squeeze.
  • Downside Bias: Long liquidation volume is 1.5x or more the short volume. Price may gravitate downward to sweep the long liquidity.
  • Wide Range: Both max pain levels are more than 10% from current price. No immediate squeeze risk — price has room to move before hitting concentrated liquidation zones.
  • Neutral: No strong imbalance in either direction. Wait for a catalyst or check the Liquidation Map tab for more detail on the specific asset.

The Progress Bars

The colored bars in the Short Dist and Long Dist columns show how close max pain is to current price. A longer bar means the max pain level is farther away (less immediate risk). A shorter bar means it is close (higher probability of being tested). The bars cap at 20% distance — anything beyond that is off-scale.

How to Use It — Trade Setups

  • Scan for squeezes: Look for assets where Short Dist or Long Dist is under 3%. These are the highest-risk setups — a small price move could trigger a cascade.
  • Compare volume imbalance: When Short Vol is much larger than Long Vol, the upside magnet is stronger. Price tends to seek the larger liquidity pool first.
  • Rank by total volume: The table is sorted by total liquidation volume (short + long). Assets at the top have the most leveraged exposure — they offer the highest-impact setups but also carry the most cascade risk.
  • Check the top 3 setup panel: The panel above the table gives a narrative breakdown for the top 3 assets by volume — bias, target, and specific setup description.
  • Cross-reference with the Liquidation Map: Click on an asset in the heatmap or liquidation map to see the full bar chart profile. The scanner tells you which assets to watch; the map tells you the exact price structure.

What This Tool Does NOT Do

  • It does not show real liquidation orders. Values are estimated from OI, funding rate, and leverage tier distribution — not from exchange order books.
  • It does not account for hedged positions, cross-exchange arbitrage, or institutional OTC desks.
  • Max pain levels are estimates and may be off by 5-15% from actual liquidation clusters.
  • The setup classifications are heuristic — they are starting points for analysis, not trade signals.
  • Bybit data is routed through a European proxy server to bypass US geo-blocks, ensuring availability for all users.

Stack With Other Signals

The Max Pain Scanner is strongest when combined with:

  • Liquidation Map tab: Shows the full bar chart profile for a single asset — all leverage tiers, cumulative lines, and trade setup targets.
  • Heatmap tab: Shows how liquidation density has evolved over time and which levels have already been consumed by price.
  • Funding Rate: High positive funding + nearby short max pain = short squeeze setup. Negative funding + nearby long max pain = long squeeze setup.
  • Price Structure: Max pain levels that align with support/resistance, prior swing highs/lows, or key moving averages are higher-probability targets.

How to Read Liquidation Levels

What This Chart Shows

Each horizontal line is a projected liquidation level for positions estimated to have been opened at a candle's close. Lines above price are short liquidation levels (blues/cyans/greens); lines below price are long liquidation levels (warm reds/pinks/purples). Line brightness scales with the volume of the candle where the position was estimated to be opened.

Leverage Groups

  • High Leverage (50x–100x): Levels sit 1–2% from entry. They trigger first and fuel flash moves.
  • Medium Leverage (25x): Levels sit ~4% from entry. Often the thickest clusters.
  • Low Leverage (10x): Levels sit ~10% from entry. Longer-term magnets.

Line Termination

A level line extends to the right only until the first candle whose range crosses it — at that point the positions were swept (liquidated) and the line ends. Lines that reach the right edge are still active: untouched liquidity that price may seek out. The mini histogram on the right sums this active liquidity by price row, colored by the dominant side.

The Bubbles

Circles are actual liquidation prints from OKX — green circles are shorts being liquidated (forced buys), red circles are longs being liquidated (forced sells). Bubble size scales with the print's notional value.

What This Chart Does NOT Do

  • It is a model, not order-book data — levels are projected from candle closes at standard leverage tiers, not from real position data.
  • It does not predict direction. It shows where forced flow would accelerate if price gets there.
  • Actual liquidations may differ — traders close positions manually, use cross-margin, or add collateral.

Hyperliquid TP/SL Pressure Map

Visible book liquidity + modelled take-profit/stop-loss zones from Hyperliquid DEX

Bid liquidity (support) Ask liquidity (resistance) Modelled TP zone Modelled SL zone

How to Read This Chart

What You're Seeing

This chart pulls Hyperliquid's live L2 order book — the actual resting bid and ask orders on the DEX. Each horizontal bar represents liquidity at a specific price level. Longer bars mean more money resting at that price.

The dashed blue line is the current mid-price. Bars above it are sell-side liquidity (resistance). Bars below it are buy-side liquidity (support).

Color Guide

Green bars — Bid walls (buy orders, support below price)
Red bars — Ask walls (sell orders, resistance above price)
Magenta bars — Modelled Stop-Loss zones (orders near swing highs/lows where positions likely get stopped)
Gold bars — Modelled Take-Profit zones (appear when book clusters near recent swing levels)

How to Use It

  • Find walls: The longest bars are large resting orders. A big red bar above price = heavy resistance. A big green bar below = strong support.
  • Spot TP clusters: Gold bars show where long positions are likely taking profit. Price often slows or reverses near these zones.
  • Spot SL clusters: Magenta bars show where stop-losses are stacked. If price hits these, cascading liquidations can cause sharp moves.
  • Set your levels: Use the stats bar (Mid Price, Nearest Resistance/Support, Largest Wall) to inform entry, TP, and SL placement.
  • Hover for detail: Mouse over any bar to see exact price, notional value, order count, and distance from mid.

Why It Matters

Order book liquidity reveals where price is likely to react. Large walls act as magnets — price often gravitates toward big orders to fill them, then bounces or breaks through. Knowing where these walls sit helps you place smarter entries and exits instead of guessing.

The TP/SL modelling adds a layer that raw order books don't show: it clusters liquidity near recent swing highs and lows to estimate where traders are likely taking profit or getting stopped out — the zones where price accelerates.

Measured vs. Modelled: Bid/ask depth is MEASURED from actual resting Hyperliquid orders. TP/SL zones are MODELLED from book depth clusters near swing highs/lows — Hyperliquid does not identify whether orders are take-profit or stop-loss.

Depth note: Hyperliquid's L2 API returns 20 levels per side. Bid/Ask Depth reflects top 20 levels only, not the full book.
