What Is the BTC Liquidation Heatmap?

The BTC Liquidation Heatmap is a real-time monitoring tool that visualizes Bitcoin and altcoin perpetual futures market data. Color-coded cells show the price movement intensity across 35+ trading pairs listed on Binance Futures, helping traders quickly identify which assets are experiencing the strongest bullish or bearish pressure.

How to Read This Heatmap

• Green cells — Pairs with positive price change. Deeper green = stronger upward momentum (≥8%).
• Red cells — Pairs with negative price change. Deeper red = stronger downward pressure (≤-8%).
• Gray cells — Pairs with neutral movement (<0.5% change).
• Heat score in the movers table combines absolute price change with trading volume to estimate liquidation pressure.

Key Market Indicators

Funding Rate reflects the cost of holding perpetual positions — high positive funding suggests long-side dominance, while negative funding points to shorts paying to maintain their positions. The Long/Short Ratio reveals the current balance between bullish and bearish positions among top traders.
