Liquidations Heatmap
Live 24h crypto liquidations across top coins — long vs short breakdown, sized by total USD liquidated. Data from CoinGlass across Binance, OKX, Bybit and Bitget. The full terminal pairs this with funding rates, open interest and whale flows.
What is a crypto liquidations heatmap?
A liquidations heatmap visualises where leveraged positions have been force-closed across the market in the last 24 hours. Each tile represents one coin: its size is proportional to the total USD liquidated, and the colour shifts red when longs dominate (traders betting the price would go up got wiped) or green when shorts dominate (traders betting on a fall got squeezed). Read at a glance, the map shows where leverage is paying the highest cost right now.
How to read this heatmap
Larger tiles mean bigger notional liquidations — usually concentrated in BTC, ETH and the top majors, but a mid-cap tile swelling past its usual size often flags a coin in an outsized move. A deep-red BTC tile with heavy long liquidations alongside green tiles on alts typically marks the end of a leveraged euphoria leg; deep-green clusters after a sharp rally signal a short squeeze. The top-10 table below the map lists exact USD figures plus the long/short ratio so the visual impression can be cross-checked against the raw numbers.
Why 24h liquidations matter for traders
Liquidations are a mechanical, non-opinionated read on how leveraged the market was just before the most recent price move. Large long-liquidation prints after a dump are what create the sharpest wicks and often mark local lows as forced selling exhausts. Large short-liquidations after a rally point to short-covering rallies running out of fuel. Pairing the heatmap with funding rates and open interest tells you whether leverage is rebuilding, flushing, or flat — the three states that precede most directional moves.
