Liquidations are not noise — they are structural events. When a leveraged position is force-closed, it creates order flow that has nothing to do with fundamental or technical analysis. Large liquidation clusters often mark local extremes precisely because the forced selling (or buying) exhausts itself at those levels.
The Monetum Intelligence liquidation heatmap gives you real-time visibility into where these events are occurring and at what scale.
The heatmap shows forced position closures plotted by price level and time. Intensity indicates the dollar value of liquidations at each price point — brighter zones represent larger forced closures.
Long liquidations occur when leveraged long positions are force-closed during sharp down-moves. A cluster of long liquidations at a price level means a significant number of bulls were stopped out there. These clusters often become support on any subsequent revisit: the weak longs are gone, and re-tests of that level tend to find strong hands buying.
Short liquidations (short squeezes) occur when leveraged shorts are force-closed during sharp up-moves. These clusters often become resistance on re-tests.
Most retail data tools only show liquidations from one exchange. Our heatmap aggregates data from:
