Liquidation levels by coin
For each coin: the largest estimated short-liquidation level within 15% above the price, the largest long-liquidation level within 15% below it, and what a 5% move either way would liquidate. Open a coin for its map, its largest levels per side and every move from 1% to 5%.
Every hourly rise in open interest on a coin’s Binance USDT perpetual over the last 21 days is treated as new positions opened at that hour’s price, half long and half short.
Each batch is spread over a typical leverage mix: 10× (18%), 20× (22%), 25× (22%), 50× (18%), 75× (10%), and 100× (10%). A position is liquidated about 1/leverage away from its entry, with a 0.5% maintenance margin; a level stays open until a later candle trades through it. Levels are grouped in bands 0.25% of the price wide.
This is a model, not the exchanges’ order books: real positions use other leverage, add margin, close early or sit on other exchanges, and the model sees Binance’s open interest only. Read it as where leverage has built up, not as a forecast. Market information, not investment advice.

Questions about the liquidation heatmap
What is a crypto liquidation heatmap?
A map of the prices where leveraged futures positions would be forced to close. Short positions are liquidated when the price rises to their level, long positions when it falls to theirs; where many positions share a level, the map shows a bright band.
How are these liquidation levels estimated?
From 21 days of hourly open interest on each coin’s Binance USDT perpetual: every rise counts as new positions opened at that hour’s price, half long and half short, spread over a typical leverage mix (10× (18%), 20× (22%), 25× (22%), 50× (18%), 75× (10%), and 100× (10%)) with a 0.5% maintenance margin. A level stays open until a later hourly candle trades through it.
Which coins have a liquidation heatmap?
20 of the largest coins with a Binance USDT perpetual: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, TRX, DOGE, ZEC, XLM, XMR, LINK, ADA, BCH, HBAR, LTC, SUI, AVAX, SHIB, NEAR, and TAO. Each has its own page in English and Turkish.
How often is the liquidation heatmap updated?
Each coin’s estimate is rebuilt about every 30 minutes from hourly data, and a copy older than 90 minutes is never shown as current. The live heatmap in the AlertaChart app updates as new data arrives, on every timeframe.
Are these real liquidations?
No. They estimate where positions would be liquidated; exchanges do not publish their users’ liquidation prices. Real liquidations are the forced orders exchanges report after the fact; each coin page shows the last 24 hours on Binance, Bybit and OKX when that read is available.
Is the live liquidation heatmap free?
These snapshot pages are free to read. The live heatmap in the app, on every timeframe, is part of the Pro and Elite plans. Eligible new subscribers on iOS or Android may see a free trial of up to 7 days on some plans; web purchases do not include a trial.
