Liquidation Data

In crypto markets, liquidation (also referred to as “closing out” or “forced liquidation”) occurs when an investor’s collateral in a leveraged position falls below the minimum required level, causing the position to be automatically closed. Commonly referred to in the community as “getting rekt,” this mechanism serves to protect the investor from further losses and to limit the exchange’s risk. Positions opened with high leverage are among the first to be liquidated, especially during periods of increased volatility.

On this page, you can explore detailed liquidation data from the crypto markets. Total liquidation amounts over 24-hour, 12-hour, 4-hour, and 1-hour periods are presented along with the distribution of long and short positions. This allows you to see in real time which side of the market is more exposed to risk.

Additionally, the exchange based liquidation table shows which side is being liquidated more on major platforms such as Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate, and HTX. For example, a predominance of short liquidations during a certain period may indicate strong bearish expectations in the market. Conversely, if long positions are being liquidated heavily, it reflects the impact of sharp drops on leveraged investors. A concentration of long positions indicates that investors are optimistic in the long term and expect price increases.
