Leveraged positions that were force-closed on Binance and Bybit perpetual futures, for the five largest coins. Updated every minute. A liquidated long is forced selling; a liquidated short is forced buying.
Tracking started 29 October 2026, 15:00 UTC, so the 24-hour figures cover a shorter window for now.

How to read it
Every leveraged position has a liquidation price. When the market reaches it, the exchange closes the position with a market order: a long is sold, a short is bought back. Those forced orders push the price further in the same direction, which is why liquidations cluster. When one wave triggers the next, it is a liquidation cascade.
Bars below the line are longs that were closed, which happens when the price falls. Bars above the line are shorts that were closed, which happens when the price rises. A long run of one-sided bars means the market pushed through a level where many traders had piled into the same side, often after funding and open interest were both high.
The figures are a floor, not the full market. They cover USDT-margined perpetuals on two exchanges, and Binance only reports the largest liquidation per coin each second. Use them for direction and relative size, not as an exact total.

Questions
What is a crypto liquidation?
A liquidation is when an exchange force-closes a leveraged position because the loss has eaten through the margin. A long is closed by selling, a short by buying back, both with market orders.
Why are liquidations shown as a floor?
The tracker covers USDT-margined perpetuals on Binance and Bybit. Binance only publishes the largest liquidation per coin each second, and other exchanges are not included, so the real total is higher.
What does a high longs share mean?
Most of the forced orders were sales: the price fell into a level where many leveraged longs had their liquidation price. A high shorts share means the opposite, a squeeze upwards.
Can I get this data through an API?
Yes. The SwapHunt API serves the live window at /v1/derivatives/liquidations and the stored history at /v1/derivatives/liquidations/history, paid per call over x402 with no account.
How often does the tracker update?
The exchanges stream liquidations as they happen. This page refreshes its figures every minute, and the hourly chart fills in as each hour passes.
