Best Crypto Liquidation Heatmap Tools in 2026

A liquidation heatmap shows where leveraged positions would be forced out. There are two ways to draw one. Most tools estimate the levels with a model built from price, open interest and typical leverage. On Hyperliquid, where positions are public on-chain, a tool can instead read the real levels from open positions.

The six tools below do one or both. The order is not a ranking: which one fits depends on what you trade.

DCT Alpha is our own product. Everything said about the other tools comes from their own public pages, linked under each tool and checked on 3 October 2026. Where another tool is stronger, we say so. Prices and features change: check the source before you decide.

The short answer

  • CoinGlass for the cheapest full model heatmap on every coin ($28/month), with a mobile app.
  • DCT Alpha to see the model heatmap next to realized liquidations, the order book and, on Hyperliquid, the real liquidation, take-profit and stop-loss levels, in one chart.
  • Hyperdash for free heatmaps from real positions, if Hyperliquid is all you trade.
  • Kingfisher for a dedicated liquidation model with aggregated and multi-coin maps.
  • Hyblock Capital if you also want to backtest how price reacts at the levels.
  • Velo if you trade Hyperliquid from the chart and want news in the same place.

The Heatmaps, One by One

1. DCT Alpha

Free account and a live BTC heatmap without an account. Pro $69/month or $745/year. API from $249/month.

A web platform that puts liquidation heatmaps, an order book heatmap, order flow, Hyperliquid position data and an AI assistant in one place. All market data is collected by DCT Alpha itself, straight from the exchanges and from its own Hyperliquid node.

Strong at

  • Liquidation levels, take-profit and stop-loss levels from real open Hyperliquid positions, read from our own Hyperliquid node
  • Alpha AI: an assistant inside the app that answers from the live data (32 data tools)
  • Realized liquidations from 9 exchanges, an order book heatmap and footprint in the same chart, with 72 indicators
  • On-chain whale flows for Bitcoin and Ethereum

Keep in mind

  • A young platform: realized liquidation history starts in early 2026, where the large players have years
  • Binance stopped publishing a live liquidation feed, so Binance liquidations are an estimate from open interest, marked as such
  • Web only, no mobile app
  • Footprint history covers BTC, ETH and SOL; the order book heatmap covers 39 Binance coins with 14 days of history

2. CoinGlass

Most of the site is free. Prime $28/month or $268/year (full liquidation heatmap). Separate API plans from $29/month.

Strong at

  • 30+ exchanges and more than 8 years of historical data, by its own account
  • Native iOS and Android apps, and alerts by email, push, browser, webhook, Telegram and Discord
  • Prime at $28/month is a low price for the full liquidation heatmap (three models, all coins)
  • Hyperliquid whale tracker with entry and liquidation price per position

Keep in mind

  • Without Prime, the liquidation heatmap covers only BTC and ETH, with 6 and 12 month views
  • Footprint and the order book heatmap sit in CoinGlass Legend, which has no public price
  • No AI assistant inside the site; an MCP server (beta) needs an API key and your own AI client

FAQ

What is a liquidation heatmap?

A chart that colors the price levels where leveraged positions would be liquidated. Bright bands mark large clusters. Price is often drawn toward them, because liquidations there are forced market orders that can push price further.

Model or real positions: which is more accurate?

Real positions show the levels that exist right now, but that is only possible on Hyperliquid, where positions are public on-chain. On centralized exchanges positions are private, so every tool estimates them with a model. A model can be wrong about leverage and entry prices, so treat its bright zones as likely areas, not exact prices.

Is there a free liquidation heatmap?

Yes. CoinGlass covers BTC and ETH for free, Kingfisher has a free LiqMap, Hyperdash is free for Hyperliquid, and DCT Alpha shows a live BTC/USDT liquidation heatmap without an account.

Which liquidation heatmap shows Hyperliquid stop-loss and take-profit levels?

DCT Alpha and Velo (on a few charts) list both. Hyperdash lists stops. HyperTracker has stops and take-profits in its API rather than as a heatmap.
