A Liquidation Heatmap visually represents areas where a significant number of liquidation orders are likely to occur. These maps are often used to analyze market behavior and predict price movements.
Heatmap Procedure :
1. Color Gradient:
• Purple: Represents low levels of liquidation interest (fewer orders).
• Yellow: Indicates high levels of predicted liquidation interest (clustered stop-losses and liquidation orders)
2. Zones of Interest:
• Yellow Zones: These are high-risk areas where large liquidations might occur. Price movement into these zones can trigger significant volatility as liquidation orders execute.
• Purple Zones: Indicate less activity, where price moves are less likely to cause liquidations.
Trading Insights:
Support and Resistance: Heatmaps often highlight key levels where traders have placed stop-loss or liquidation orders, which can act as psychological support or resistance levels.
Volatility Expectations: A cluster of yellow zones can signal potential volatility if the price approaches these levels.
Tips for Using the Heatmap:
• Scalp Traders: Use these zones to anticipate quick moves or reversals.
• Swing Traders: Look for larger patterns around yellow zones to set entries and exits.
