About this section

What this section shows and how to use it

The liquidation map shows forced closures of futures positions in real time. A liquidation happens when a leveraged trade runs out of margin: the exchange closes it at market by itself, regardless of what the trader wants.

A liquidation heatmap answers the question of where positions are concentrated that the market will close by force at a given price. Clusters of such points act like a magnet: a move towards them feeds itself, because every closure pushes price further.

The section shows the liquidated amount, the side - longs or shorts - and the distribution over time. A dominance of closed longs means the market punished buyers, a dominance of shorts means sellers were flushed out. It is a direct read on who is under pressure right now.

Frequently asked questions

What is a liquidation in crypto?

A forced closure of a leveraged position when margin no longer covers the loss. The exchange closes the trade at market and the trader loses the posted margin.

Why is price drawn to liquidation clusters?

Because closing a long is a market sell and closing a short is a market buy. On reaching a cluster, price gets an extra push in the same direction from the liquidations themselves.

What does a dominance of long liquidations mean?

That mostly buyers were closed out, meaning the move went down and caught them off guard. The reverse holds when shorts dominate.

Do liquidations predict price?

No. They show what has already happened and where vulnerable positions sit. It is a map of pressure, not a forecast.
