Crypto liquidation heatmap

See the price zones where leveraged positions get wiped — the levels price so often gravitates toward before it reverses or accelerates.

Why liquidation zones matter

Most crypto trading happens on leverage. Every leveraged position has a price at which it gets force-closed — its liquidation level. When lots of positions share a similar level, they form a cluster: a pool of stops and forced orders sitting at one price.

Those clusters behave like magnets. Price frequently pushes into them to trigger a cascade of liquidations, grabs the liquidity, then reverses or continues with fresh momentum. Knowing where the big clusters sit tells you where volatility is likely to spike.

How Signal Bench builds it (honestly)

Paid liquidation feeds (Glassnode, Coinglass) are expensive. Instead, Signal Bench builds a free approximation from public Binance futures data — current price, open interest and the leverage tiers traders actually use — to estimate where the clusters likely sit. It's a guide to context, not a precise ledger of every position.

Frequently asked questions

What is a liquidation heatmap?

It's a map of the price zones where clusters of leveraged positions would be force-closed (liquidated). Those zones act like magnets because exchanges and market makers are incentivised to push price toward pools of liquidity.

How is the heatmap calculated?

Signal Bench estimates liquidation clusters from public futures data — price, open interest and common leverage tiers. It's a free approximation, not a paid exchange feed, so treat it as context, not gospel.

How do I trade with it?

Use liquidation zones as areas of interest, not signals on their own. Price reaching a big cluster can mean a sharp wick and reversal, or a continuation once the liquidity is taken. Combine it with the signal and market regime.
