CRYPTO
Liquidation Station 😱 

Interested in how much has been flushed out of leveraged long and short positions? Who’s getting hurt the most? This is the best place to get an idea of how leveraged positions are doing. 🔴 

30-day Total Liquidations 📆 

What You’re Looking At

• Green bars above zero = longs blown out because price fell.

• Red bars below zero = shorts blown out because price ripped.

• Left-hand scale is U.S. dollars (millions); the dashed line near the top sits at $1B.

• July 31 - biggest print of the window, $900M long wipe as BTC slipped.

• August 12 - deep red short squeeze, $450-500M.

• August 13 - follow-through long liquidations, $800-900M.

• August 18-19 - two green days in a row, $350-500M total, longs still heavy.

• August 20 - another sharp red bar, $350-400M shorts torched on a pop.

• August 24-28 - renewed green cluster, multiple $150-350M long-flush days as price sagged into month-end.

7-day Liquidation Heat Map 🌡️

What You’re Looking At

• Rows = coins, columns = timestamps.

• Color = head-count of forced liquidations (legend tops at 2,000).

• A cell showing “BTC 1,600” means 1,600 separate BTC positions were liquidated.

• Aug 22-23 - BTC and ETH spend long stretches in yellow to orange; SOL and XRP trail one notch cooler.

• Aug 25 - market-wide vertical stripe; many rows flip yellow at once.

• Aug 26-27 - scattered orange in mid-caps; DOT shows a sustained hot band, others echo in green-to-yellow.

• Aug 28 - isolated orange pops in smaller names while majors cool to green.

• Aug 29 pre-open - majors tick back to yellow, signaling leverage rebuilt quickly.

Some Interesting Insights 👓️ 

• Symmetric pain persists - Shorts got clipped around Aug 12 and Aug 20. Longs owned Jul 31 and the Aug 24-28 stretch.

• Head-count stayed elevated - Multiple yellow-to-orange runs on BTC and ETH through the week confirm crowd size and speed remain high.

• Same rule keeps paying - Any day > $600M liquidated or any hour > 1,500 head-count has reliably been followed by a sharp counter-move inside 24-48 hours.

• Process tip - Watch BTC and ETH on the heatmap. When those rows flip yellow, trim alt exposure or tighten stops immediately.
