Real liquidations in the last 24 hours
Over the last 24 hours $981.50K of LINK longs and $176.18K of LINK shorts were liquidated on Binance, Bybit, and OKX, as the exchanges published them.
Binance and OKX publish only part of their liquidations. Binance sends at most one liquidation per contract each second, and OKX’s documentation says its liquidation feed “doesn’t represent the total number of liquidations on OKX”. Their figures, and every total that includes them, are minimums. Binance’s stream documentation · OKX’s channel documentation

How the estimate works
Every hourly rise in open interest on the Binance LINKUSDT 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 LINK liquidation heatmap
Where are the biggest LINK liquidation levels right now?
As of Nov 14, 2026, 2:07 AM UTC, the largest estimated short-liquidation level above the price is $10.84 (+11.1%), about $496.89K, and the largest long-liquidation level below it is $9.55 (−2.1%), about $237.48K. Both are 0.25%-wide bands within 15% of the price, estimated from Binance open interest.
How much would a 5% move in LINK liquidate?
By this estimate, a 5% rise to $10.24 would liquidate about $250.77K of short positions, and a 5% drop to $9.27 about $1.43M of long positions. The table on this page shows every step from 1% to 5%.
How is the LINK liquidation heatmap calculated?
From 21 days of hourly open interest on the Binance LINKUSDT perpetual: each 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%)). A position is liquidated about 1/leverage from its entry with a 0.5% maintenance margin, and a level stays open until a later hourly candle trades through it.
Are these real LINK liquidations?
No. The levels estimate where leveraged positions would be forced to close; exchanges do not publish their users’ liquidation prices. Real liquidations are the forced orders exchanges report after the fact: over the last 24 hours, $981.50K of longs and $176.18K of shorts on Binance, Bybit, and OKX.
Does the LINK price move toward liquidation clusters?
Sometimes. A large cluster is liquidity: the forced orders there can speed a move once price reaches it, and traders watch such levels. But nothing makes price go to a cluster, and the estimate does not see positions on other exchanges, added margin or early exits. Read it as where leverage has built up, not as a forecast; it is not investment advice.
