Liquidation Heatmap
A real-time map of crypto market liquidation zones. It shows where forced position closures are concentrated—they're also where the "magnets" for the next price move are most often located.
Liquidation concentration zones (24 hours)
The top 50 coins by liquidation volume across all exchanges. The long/short column shows which side lost more.

What is a Liquidation Heatmap?
Liquidation Heatmap — a heat map of liquidation levels. In the crypto market, leveraged traders lose their positions when the price reaches a certain point. These points form clusters—"liquidity zones." The more leverage traders have and the larger their position volume, the thicker the zone. On the chart, this is visible as bright bands above and below the current price.
Liquidation concentration levels are price magnets. Market makers and large players know where retail stops are and often move the price there to gather liquidity. Therefore, when such a zone is reached, a sharp move almost always occurs: either a "sweep" (a quick touch and reversal) or a cascade of liquidations followed by a continuation of the trend.
Our heatmap is built on our own data - we scrape public liquidation flows from Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Hyperliquid and 15+ other exchanges. On the chart, each zone is colored by concentration: dark shades indicate few liquidations, bright red/green shades indicate large accumulations. The higher the total USD in a zone, the stronger the magnet.
How to use the liquidation map
Fat long zone from below
A large cluster of long positions with identical stops below the price. If the price penetrates this level, a cascade of long liquidations will accelerate the decline. This is often the goal of a bearish move.
Fat short zone on top
A cluster of short positions with stops above the price. A breakout there will trigger a short squeeze—cascading short-closes will accelerate the rally. Market makers love to attack such zones.
Price magnet
If there are no large zones at either the top or bottom, the price is "free," and it's too early to expect strong movements. However, when a clear "magnet" is visible, the price will likely move toward it, even in a noisy market.
Symmetrical zones
Fat zones both above and below = a fork. The price moves in the direction of large capital attacks. This is often a "sweep of both ends" – a sharp touch of one zone, a reversal, and an exit to another.

Liquidation Pressure: How much "fuel" is on either side of the price
Liquidation Pressure — the second indicator of liquidations in SuperChart, which complements the heatmap. It summarizes the volume of long liquidations below the price and short liquidations above the price, grouping them by distance from the current quote in three bands: Near, Mid, and Far. The main signal is the Delta line: the difference between shorts and longs.
Delta above zero (green) means there's more short "fuel" accumulated above the price than longs below it: the market has fuel for an upward squeeze. Delta below zero (red) means there's an excess of long liquidations from below, a downward cascade is likely. The closer the band (Near), the faster this fuel can burn out as the price moves.
Difference from a heatmap: a heatmap shows where liquidations are concentrated by price level, while a pressure map shows how many there are on each side and how the skew changes over time. The source is switchable: current symbol, the entire market (TOTAL), the top 10, or altcoins without the top 10; the period is 7 or 30 days.
Liquidation Levels: calculated liquidation levels on the chart
Liquidation Levels — the third tool in the set: horizontal price levels where positions with 10x, 25x, 50x, and 100x leverage opened on bars with a surge in volume will be liquidated. The logic is simple: a sharp increase in volume triggers a massive expansion of positions, and the liquidation price for a long position with 100x leverage is approximately 1% below the entry, 50x leverage is 2%, 25x leverage is 4%, and 10x leverage is 10%. The indicator draws these marks: long levels below the price, short levels above it.
A level remains active until the price trades through it: touching it with the wick "removes" the level from the chart—liquidity has been collected. A cluster of untriggered levels acts like a magnet: the more lines nearby and the closer they are to the price, the more likely the market will reach them. Color indicates leverage: red (100x) are the closest and most fragile, orange (50x), yellow (25x), and blue (10x) are the furthest.
The difference from a heatmap: a heatmap is based on real aggregated exchange data, while Levels is a calculated model based on volume and leverage that works on any ticker and timeframe, including spot. Together, they act as a cross-check: a calculated level that coincides with a bold zone in the heatmap is a strong magnet.
