Bitcoin liquidation map

• Each band is a price zone where the model estimates there are many leveraged positions that would be force-closed if the price reaches it.
• Below the price are the longs (liquidated if the price falls) and above it, the shorts (liquidated if it rises). The more intense the band, the stronger it is.
• Strength goes from 0 to 100 and compares the zones of the same snapshot with each other: it isn't an amount of money or a probability.
• At the top you choose the horizon: the zones that matter for the next hour or for the next 4 hours.
• Each zone starts on the chart where it was born: where the money that forms it came in.

• Age keeps only the recent zones, the ones formed in the last hours or days: they tend to matter more than old ones.
• Leverage keeps only the zones of positions with that leverage. 100x positions get liquidated close to the price and are useful for short-term trading (scalping); 3x to 25x ones, further away, for trades that last days (swing). By default, all are shown.
• With a filter, strength compares only the zones that remain: the strongest one becomes the reference again.
• Minimum strength hides the weak zones: it keeps only those that reach 25, 50 or 75.

• The summary at the top shows the nearest strong zone above and below the price, how far away it is, and how much of the strength belongs to longs and how much to shorts near the price.
• The bars next to the price show the strength at each level, so you can read the map without relying on colours.
• The cumulative curve, below the chart, adds up the strength that would be triggered if the price fell or rose to each level.
• Striped zones, marked «Reached» in the table, are the ones the price has already touched: they don't count in the summary or the curve.
• With «See the real liquidations», circles on the candles mark the large liquidations that actually happened: that way you can see which zones played out.

No. It shows where there are positions that would be force-closed, which is where the price sometimes speeds up or bounces. Use it as one more data point, never as a trading signal.

• The model is our own. It follows the futures market of several exchanges live: when new positions open, at what price and with how much open interest, and when they get liquidated.
• Every time new money comes in, it calculates at what prices those positions would be liquidated with the most common leverage levels, and adds up what builds up in each zone.
• Then a second model ranks the zones by what has actually been liquidated in the past, giving more strength to the ones that tend to play out.
• Old zones that haven't played out yet gradually lose strength, because some of those positions will probably have been closed by their owners already.
• Before showing a new model, we test it forward in time and only publish it if it passes tests set in advance. Until it does, the page says "In testing".
• We never show any exchange's data as is: only the result the model calculates.
• Some snapshots blend our model with an external source of levels, with its permission. When that happens, we say so below the chart.

It’s the Bitcoin snapshot from an hour ago. Both versions unlock with the Hunter rank.

• Yes. With the time bar above the map, you go back in 5-minute steps, up to 30 days. "Back to now" takes you back to the current snapshot.
• The chart marks that moment with a line and continues up to now: that way you can see whether the price reached the zones that were there then.
• The page address keeps the moment, so you can share it as is.
• With the delayed map, the most recent thing you can see is the snapshot from an hour ago.

With the page open, the real-time map updates every minute and the delayed one every five. If the service doesn't respond, you see the last good snapshot with its time.
