Live Crypto Liquidations — BTC, ETH & Altcoins Today

A liquidation happens when a leveraged trader is forcefully closed by an exchange because their position can no longer meet the required margin. The exchange sells (or buys back) their position at market, locking in the loss for the trader and adding one-sided flow to the order book.

On crypto perpetual futures, even a small move against a 10x or 20x leveraged position is enough to trigger a forced close. When many traders are positioned on the same side — for example, heavily long Bitcoin near a top — a small dip can trigger a liquidation cascade: each forced sell pushes the price lower, which liquidates the next batch of longs, and so on.

How to read the live liquidation feed

• Long liquidations (red) mean leveraged buyers were forced out — bearish flow, often near local tops.
• Short liquidations (green) mean leveraged sellers were forced out — bullish flow, often near local bottoms.
• Whale events ($100k+ single liquidations) are highlighted — clusters of these typically mark capitulation moments worth paying attention to.

Where this data comes from

We stream liquidations live from the WebSocket feeds of Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget and Hyperliquid. That is the same raw data professional desks watch — there is no proprietary estimate or delay. The feed shows BTC, ETH and altcoin liquidations as they happen.

Liquidations are a flow signal, not a trade signal. They tell you what just happened, not what will happen next.
