BTC perpetuals
Usually provide the deepest public derivatives history in the model, but the map still cannot observe private entry prices or margin mode.

Estimated crypto liquidation map
Explore modeled BTC, ETH and SOL liquidation exposure as a time-price heatmap. Brighter horizontal bands indicate larger estimated liquidation concentrations while perpetual OHLC candles show how price moves through them.

Modeled concentrations, not observed positions or liquidation orders. USD values are scenario ranges. The model uses public OI, price, volume, funding, volatility and observed liquidations; unavailable history is not fabricated. Methodology
What the map is showing
TradingHub infers potential liquidation exposure from changes in public perpetual-futures open interest, mark price and funding context. New OI is distributed across explicit leverage assumptions and projected toward approximate liquidation prices. Each snapshot is projected into time-price buckets and can be filtered by venue, liquidation side and leverage cohort; the result is a model estimate, not a feed of private exchange positions.
How to read the zones
The horizontal axis is time and the right-hand vertical axis is price. Heatmap color represents estimated liquidation exposure at each time-price cell: dark purple is low concentration and green/yellow marks larger modeled concentrations. Perpetual OHLC candles are overlaid directly on the heatmap. Drag to pan, zoom around the cursor with the wheel, scale the axes directly, or use area zoom for a precise time/price selection.
Why the map changes
The model reduces exposure when open interest contracts, when price crosses a projected liquidation level, and when observed liquidations consume nearby modeled exposure. Remaining cohorts decay with an 18-hour half-life. This prevents old assumptions from remaining permanently visible after market structure changes.
BTC, ETH and SOL context
ETH perpetuals
Uses the same explicit leverage-cohort method with ETH-specific price, OI and venue observations.
SOL perpetuals
Uses SOL-specific contract normalization; lower depth can make cross-venue differences more visible.

Liquidation heatmap versus liquidity heatmap
This map models possible forced-close exposure. An order-book liquidity heatmap displays currently visible resting bids and asks, which can be cancelled before execution. They are different datasets and neither is a price forecast. Read the full comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Does the map show real user liquidation prices?
No. Exchanges do not publish every position’s entry, leverage, collateral and margin mode. The displayed zones are estimates derived from public data.
Why can a bright zone disappear?
Open interest can contract, price can cross the modeled level, observed liquidations can consume nearby exposure, or the model can decay an old assumption.
Is visible liquidity the same as liquidation exposure?
No. Visible liquidity is an order-book observation; liquidation exposure is a model of possible forced closes.
