Liquidation Heatmaps for BTC, ETH & the Top 50 Coins (Free, Estimated)
Estimated liquidation heatmaps and liquidation maps for the coins with the most futures open interest, modelled from the open interest changes this site records on each exchange. Pick a coin for its heatmap over 12 hours to 30 days, or its map of the levels still open now.
Live example. Right now the largest modelled BTC long cluster is at $68,418.4 (-5.75%), the largest short cluster at $74,951.8 (+3.25%), with BTC at $72,592.5. Modelled from positions opened in the last 24 hours; see the BTC liquidation heatmap.
Nearest liquidation clusters by coin
63 coins · all tracked exchangesA big cluster is one of the 5 largest estimated clusters on that side (0.5% price bins within ±25% of the price, 24 hours all-leverage model); each row shows the nearest one. The bar splits the modelled liquidations within ±10%: longs vs shorts. — means that coin's model is still warming.

How to read a liquidation heatmap
A liquidation heatmap plots price against time. Each cell's colour is the modelled value of leveraged positions that would be force-closed if the price reached that level: dark means little, bright bands mean a lot. Because these are estimates, read the bands as zones, not exact prices.
Above or below the price. Bands above the current price are short liquidation levels: if the price rises into them, shorts get liquidated and their exchanges buy to close them. Bands below are long levels, where forced selling happens on the way down.
Why price reacts near clusters. A liquidation is a market order the trader didn't choose to send. When many sit at one level, a move into it can set off a chain of forced orders that pushes the price further, which is why large clusters sometimes act like magnets and sometimes mark the end of a sharp wick. Once the price trades through a band, those positions are gone and the band disappears from the chart.
Ranges. The range picks how far back the model looks for new positions, from 12 hours to 30 days. Short ranges show fresh, crowded leverage; long ranges show older levels that are still open, faded by a 5-day half-life as positions get closed.
The ≥25× view. Positions at 25× leverage or more are liquidated within about 4% of their entry, so this view keeps only levels close to where they were opened: the ones most likely to be hit first. Compare it with the all-leverage view to see which bands are fragile.
What is a liquidation heatmap? The guide explains how the estimate is built, how a liquidation price arises and how it differs from an order-book liquidity heatmap.
Heatmap vs liquidation map vs Hyperliquid real positions
| Page | What it shows | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidation heatmap | Modelled levels over time: how they built up and were cleared | Estimate from open interest on all tracked exchanges (methodology) |
| Liquidation map | The levels still open now, as bars by price with running totals | Same estimate, latest snapshot |
| Hyperliquid liquidation map | Real liquidation prices of tracked wallets | On-chain positions, Hyperliquid only; no model |
Method and model versions
est-1.0+hl-2026-09-27Exchanges don't publish liquidation prices, so these heatmaps are estimates. Every rise in open interest is booked as a new long and a new short at the period's volume-weighted price, their liquidation prices are spread over the distribution below (measured on real Hyperliquid positions), falls in open interest close positions proportionally, positions decay with a 5-day half-life, and a level is removed once the price trades through it. Each chart is stamped with its model version: est-1.0+hl-2026-09-27 for all leverage, est-1.0+hl-2026-09-27-25x for the ≥25× view.
| Liquidation distance from entry | Share of new positions |
|---|---|
| 0% – 2% | 12.0% |
| 2% – 5% | 7.0% |
| 5% – 10% | 20.0% |
| 10% – 20% | 18.0% |
| 20% – 50% | 17.0% |
On Hyperliquid, where positions are on-chain, the Hyperliquid liquidation map uses the real liquidation prices of tracked wallets instead of this model. How well the model predicts real liquidations, including where it doesn't beat a simple baseline: methodology and accuracy scoreboard. Estimates may be materially wrong; not financial advice.
Liquidation heatmap FAQ
What is a liquidation heatmap?
A chart of price against time where the colour shows how much leveraged positions would be liquidated at each price. Bright bands above the price are short liquidation levels, below it long ones. Price often reacts near large clusters, because liquidations are forced market orders.
Is this liquidation heatmap free?
Yes. Every heatmap and map here is free to use with no login, no account and no paywalled coins or ranges. Each chart's data is also served as JSON at /api/liquidation-heatmap/<coin>, and the site's other public endpoints are documented on the developers page.
Are liquidation heatmaps accurate?
Every centralised-exchange liquidation heatmap is an estimate, because Binance, Bybit and the others don't publish their users' liquidation prices. This one is built from recorded open interest changes and a leverage distribution measured on real Hyperliquid positions, and each chart carries its model version. Actual liquidations are usually lower than any model shows. The methodology page scores it daily against real Bybit liquidations and says plainly where it doesn't beat a simple baseline.
How often does it update?
The model reruns whenever a new bucket of open interest data is complete: about every five minutes on the default 24-hour view (and the 12-hour one), and every 15 minutes to an hour on the 3-, 7- and 30-day ranges, which use coarser buckets. Each page shows the time its model ran.
Which exchanges are included?
Every exchange this site records open interest from: Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid, Bitget, Gate, HTX, MEXC, KuCoin, Aster and Lighter. Their open interest changes are added together before the model runs, so each heatmap is one estimate for the whole market rather than one per exchange. Exchanges are added as their public APIs are connected.
What is the difference between the heatmap and the liquidation map?
The heatmap shows how the modelled levels built up and were cleared over time; the map is a snapshot of the levels still open now, as bars by price with running totals. On Hyperliquid, where positions are public, the Hyperliquid liquidation map shows real tracked positions instead of a model.
Is there a liquidation heatmap for gold?
Yes: Gold (XAU) liquidation heatmap and its liquidation map, modelled the same way from the open interest of its perpetual futures. It tracks the gold price, so its clusters are comparable to a gold (XAU/USD) liquidation heatmap, but only positions in that token's perps are counted.
What is the best liquidation heatmap?
The one whose method you can check. No one outside an exchange knows where its users' positions would be liquidated, so every centralised-exchange heatmap is a model; look for one that says so, shows how it is built, and tests itself against real liquidations. This site publishes its model version on every chart and a daily accuracy scoreboard. Comparing it with the real Hyperliquid positions is a good sanity check whichever heatmap you use.
