Free liquidation heatmap: 9 live markets
The Swiftedge liquidation heatmap is free and live, with no sign-up: it shows the prices where open leveraged perpetual futures positions would be liquidated. It is built from the liquidation prices of real public open positions, a part of the market, and checked against the liquidations that really happened. Updated every 5 minutes, it shows up to the last 7 days. There is a map for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP, and for perpetual futures on gold, US 500, US 100, silver and WTI crude oil: 9 markets in all.
Open the Bitcoin liquidation heatmapUp to 7 days of levels, a leverage filter and real liquidations on the map.

What a liquidation heatmap is
Perpetual futures let traders hold positions larger than their margin. Each leveraged position has a liquidation price: if the market gets there, the exchange closes it by force with an order that trades at once. A closed long becomes a market sell, a closed short a market buy.
A liquidation heatmap adds those prices up. Time runs from left to right and price up the side, and the brighter a band, the more value would be liquidated at that price: longs below the price in green, shorts above it in violet.
How ours differs: real positions, not an open interest model
Most liquidation heatmaps are models. Exchanges rarely publish who holds which position at which leverage, so the usual recipe estimates where positions were opened from open interest, assumes a leverage mix and works out where each estimate would be liquidated. CoinGlass, for example, says its heatmap estimates where liquidations might be triggered.
Swiftedge starts from the positions themselves: where open positions are public, each comes with the liquidation price the exchange reports. Every 5 minutes they are added up by price and leverage, and closed or liquidated positions leave the map. A model can cover every exchange but rests on assumptions; this map rests on real positions but only sees the public part of the market, so its totals are a lower bound. Each market's page shows how well the map lined up with real liquidations, once there have been enough of them. Compared: CoinGlass and Swiftedge, Hyblock and Swiftedge.
How to read it
- Bright bands are clusters. The bars on the right show what is waiting right now, and the detail slider hides thin bands so the large clusters stand out.
- Pick a time range. 12H, 1D, 3D or 7D; scroll to zoom, drag to move, pinch on a phone.
- Filter by leverage. Each position sits on the nearest of five steps, from 5x to 100x. Keep only 50x and 100x to see the positions closest to the price.
- Compare with real liquidations. They are drawn as circles, sized by value: orange-red for a closed long, cyan for a closed short. They show whether positions really were closed where the map had them.
- Watch bands fade. When price passes through a band, the positions liquidated or closed there leave the map.
Liquidation heatmap vs order book heatmap
They look alike but show different things. An order book heatmap shows limit orders really resting in the book: passive liquidity that can absorb a move. A liquidation heatmap shows positions that would be closed by force: orders that do not exist yet and would trade at once if price got there. Swiftedge has both: the crypto order book heatmap, also called a liquidity heatmap, in Depth, and these maps. The full comparison: liquidation heatmap vs order book heatmap.
Common questions
Is there a free liquidation heatmap?
Yes. Every Swiftedge liquidation heatmap is free and live, with no account or download. Start with the Bitcoin liquidation heatmap or pick any of the 9 markets above.
Which markets have a liquidation heatmap?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, gold, US 500, US 100, silver and WTI crude oil. Each one has its own page, updated every 5 minutes.
Where does the data come from?
From public perpetual futures positions on Hyperliquid and Lighter, each with the liquidation price the exchange reports. It is part of the market, not all of it: positions Swiftedge does not follow, and other exchanges, are not on the map, so the totals are a lower bound. The FAQ lists all sources.
How often is it updated?
Every 5 minutes, also while the page is open. One column is kept every 15 minutes, and the map shows up to the last 7 days.
Will price move to the brightest band?
The map shows where forced orders would sit, not where price will go. Clusters are often called magnets; this page does not claim that, and it is not a forecast or advice.
