CoinGlass and Swiftedge: two kinds of Bitcoin heatmap

By Swiftedge · Published 19 Oct 2026

CoinGlass is best known for its liquidation heatmap: a model of where leveraged positions would be force-closed. Swiftedge Depth shows something else: the order book itself, resting orders that are really there, with every trade drawn on top. Many traders use both, and they answer different questions.

What CoinGlass offers

From CoinGlass's own pages, checked on 19 October 2026:

Liquidation heatmap. CoinGlass Prime costs 28 USD a month or 268 USD a year and covers all coins with 6-, 12- and 24-month-plus ranges and automatic refresh; the version without Prime is limited to BTC and ETH with 6- and 12-month views (coinglass.com/prime). CoinGlass itself describes the heatmap as an estimate of where liquidations might be triggered.
Liquidity heatmap. CoinGlass also has an order book heatmap, shown for Binance BTCUSDT, with price on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal (CoinGlass guide).
Beyond heatmaps, CoinGlass covers many coins and data types; its data service lists futures, spot, options and ETF data (CoinGlass data API).

The difference that matters

A liquidation heatmap estimates where forced orders might appear, from open interest and an assumed mix of leverage. An order book heatmap shows orders that are in the book. Both draw bright bands, so they are easy to mix up. The guide to the two kinds of heatmap explains how each is built.

Resting orders are not promises either: in four weeks of our own recordings, 92 % of the large walls that disappeared more than 75 USD from price were cancelled, not traded (the data). That is why Depth draws every trade on top of the book: you see whether a wall held, was eaten or was pulled.

Which one fits

CoinGlass fits when you want liquidation estimates, many coins, funding, open interest and ETF data in one place.
Swiftedge Depth fits when you watch Bitcoin futures live and want to see the book and the trades move, four times a second, with GEX levels and alerts, for free.

Common questions

Does Swiftedge have a liquidation heatmap?

No. Swiftedge Depth shows the real order book of Binance's BTCUSDT perpetual and every trade, not estimated liquidation prices.

Is Swiftedge free?

Yes. Depth and Options are free and need no account. A paid plan may come later; a free version will stay.

Can I use CoinGlass and Swiftedge together?

Yes. A common setup is a liquidation heatmap for where forced orders might sit, and Depth to watch what the live book and trades actually do when price gets there.
