Top Liquidation Levels (Biggest Zones)
Strongest highlighted levels from the heatmap — biggest zones above and below the current price.
Chainlink Liquidation Heatmap
Estimated price levels showing where forced liquidations may occur for LINK. a map of forced exits — where over-leveraged positions got punished
Background
A liquidation happens when a leveraged position gets closed because price moves against the trader and their margin can’t cover the loss.
- Exchanges calculate a trader’s liquidation level when they open a leveraged trade.
- If price hits that level, the position can be force-closed (liquidated).
- Clusters of these levels can act like liquidity pockets that price reacts to.
How the Heatmap is Built
The heatmap estimates liquidation levels from market data across different leverage amounts, then stacks them into price “buckets”.
- More estimated levels in a bucket = brighter (toward yellow).
- Fewer levels = darker (toward black).
- Read intensity as relative (compare zones to each other).
Tip If price crosses a bright zone with no reaction, it may be spent.
Controls (Fast)
- Ticker: LINK
- Timeframe: lookback window for the heatmap.
- Liquidity Threshold: hides weak noise.
- More Heat: boosts lighter zones (context).
- Klines: overlays candles for reactions.
Supported Lookbacks
How Traders Use This
- Magnetic zones: price may drift toward dense pockets.
- Support / resistance: high-liquidity areas can help fill size.
- Reversal pressure: liquidations can snap price fast.
Reality Check
- Predicts where levels are opening, not guaranteed to “hit”.
- Actual liquidations can be lower than estimated.
- Catalysts/news can override structure.
Quick Scenarios
Desk Notes
- Absorption: breaks with no reaction → zone may be spent.
- Migration: new clusters elsewhere → positioning shifted.
- Confluence: stronger near pivots / range edges.
