Core Learning Concepts
  • How CoinGlass models liquidation levels from open interest and leverage tiers
  • Liquidation Heatmap color gradient: Yellow/Purple high-density clusters
  • The Liquidity Magnet principle: Why price is drawn to large liquidation clusters

CoinGlass Liquidation Heatmaps calculate where traders' liquidation prices are clustered by analyzing real-time order books, open interest changes, and exchange-specific maintenance margin rules.

On the heatmap, price levels with massive concentrations of estimated liquidations light up in bright yellow and neon colors, representing hundreds of millions of dollars in pending forced stop orders.

These high-density liquidation clusters act like powerful gravitational magnets. Institutional market makers and algorithms deliberately push price toward these clusters because triggering them creates massive guaranteed trading volume to fill their own orders.

Institutional Execution Insight

Before opening any swing trade, check the CoinGlass Liquidation Heatmap. If there is a massive $300M+ liquidation cluster resting just 1.5% away, price will almost certainly sweep that cluster before making any sustained reversal.
