Liquidations-Heatmap

How to read the liquidation heatmap

This page shows the model-estimated liquidation distribution for the selected pair on Binance derivatives. The selected range is the lookback window, not the interval of an individual candlestick. The data cutoff is the latest populated sample time; while the current sampling interval is incomplete, a gap from retrieval time is normal.

Axes and colors

The horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents price. The overlaid candlesticks show the corresponding price action. Each cell represents estimated liquidation intensity at that time and price level.

The default palette runs from purple to yellow, with yellow indicating higher intensity. The Magma palette runs from near-black to pale yellow, with pale yellow indicating higher intensity. Read the low and high ends of the current color scale; darker does not necessarily mean stronger.

The liquidity threshold adjusts color mapping and saturation only. It does not change the underlying data, model output or radar rankings. The same color need not represent the same value across different pairs, lookback ranges or thresholds.

Current distribution and liquidation radar

The optional right-hand profile shows price-level values from the latest time slice with data, without repeatedly summing the same stock across time. Its tooltip separates the value at that level from the cumulative value moving outwards from the current price.

The radar ranks upper and lower zones by strength and shows their distance from the current price. Relative strength uses the strongest current zone as its reference. Heat change compares the latest three samples with the preceding three; neither metric is a probability of price reaching a zone. Click a zone price to highlight its price band on the chart; click again to clear it. Clicking a matching price band opens the radar and locates its entry.

Meaning of the data

These are model estimates for comparing potential liquidation zones, not realized liquidation amounts or resting order-book liquidity. A strong zone does not guarantee that price will reach it, reverse or break through.
