Liquidation Leaderboard

Ranked liquidation data across all symbols — see which coins are getting the most traders wiped out and whether longs or shorts are taking the pain.

What is Liquidation Leaderboard?

Liquidation Leaderboard ranks every coin by total liquidation volume over a given time period. It shows you which assets are seeing the most forced position closures and breaks down the long/short split so you can see which side of the market is being squeezed.

Liquidations are not just casualties of volatility — they are fuel for further price movement. When leveraged positions get forcibly closed, they create market orders that push price further in the same direction. A cascade of long liquidations accelerates a dump. A cascade of short liquidations accelerates a pump. Knowing where liquidations are concentrated tells you where the market is most vulnerable.

Instead of tracking liquidations coin by coin, the leaderboard gives you the full picture in a single ranked view. You can instantly see if a handful of coins are dominating the liquidation flow or if pain is spread across the entire market — each pattern has different implications for what comes next.

Key Concepts

• Liquidation Volume: The total dollar value of positions forcibly closed over the selected time period
• Long/Short Ratio: The breakdown showing what percentage of liquidations came from long positions versus short positions
• Liquidation Cascade: When liquidations trigger further price movement, causing more liquidations — a self-reinforcing feedback loop
• Concentration: Whether liquidation activity is clustered in a few symbols or spread broadly across the market

How to Use Liquidation Leaderboard

1. Open Liquidation Leaderboard from the sidebar under Community
2. The leaderboard loads with all symbols ranked by total liquidation volume
3. Use the time filter to select 1h, 4h, 24h, or 7d depending on the timeframe you care about
4. Use the exchange filter to view liquidation data from a specific exchange or across all supported exchanges
5. Review the long/short ratio bar for each symbol to see which side is getting liquidated more

What to Look For

• Bullish signals: When the leaderboard is dominated by short liquidations — especially if short liquidation volume is accelerating — the market is squeezing shorts and price is likely to continue higher in the short term. Individual coins topping the leaderboard with heavy short liquidations may have more room to run.
• Bearish signals: When long liquidations dominate the leaderboard across multiple symbols, the market is flushing overleveraged longs. If long liquidation volume keeps increasing even as price stabilizes, there may be more downside ahead as cascading margin calls work through the system.
• Key patterns: Watch for symbols that appear near the top of the leaderboard consistently across multiple timeframes — these are the most volatile and most traded assets where leverage is highest. A sudden appearance of a previously quiet coin near the top signals an unusual event worth investigating.
• Combine with: Funding Heatmap to see if heavily liquidated coins also have extreme funding rates, OI Momentum to understand if new positions are replacing the liquidated ones, and the chart to see the price levels where liquidations clustered

Tips

• The 1h filter is best for catching active squeezes in real time — if liquidations are accelerating on one side, the move is likely not finished
• The 7d filter gives you a strategic view of where leverage has been building and getting punished across the week
• Coins with balanced long/short liquidation ratios are in a choppy regime where both sides are getting hurt — these are the hardest environments to trade directionally
• Use the exchange filter to compare liquidation profiles — some exchanges have more retail leverage than others, which affects squeeze dynamics
