Liquidation alerts, for the moment the market breaks.
Forced liquidations mark capitulation — the flush that carves a local bottom, the short squeeze that snaps a top. CoinBeacon streams the Binance USDⓈ-M forceOrder feed and alerts you two ways: when liquidations spike past a dollar threshold, and when a cascade starts and keeps accelerating — by email, Telegram, Discord, or webhook.

Catch the flush as it prints.
Set a dollar threshold on the side you care about — long flushes, short squeezes, or either — and get pinged the instant forced liquidations cross it. Watch one coin, or run it any-coin as a market-wide scanner that fires on whatever symbol breaks first.
- Window mode. Total liquidation dollars on your side over a window — 5m, 15m, or 1h — crossing your threshold. The read on broad capitulation.
- Single mode. The largest single liquidation in the window crossing the line, so one whale getting flushed doesn't hide inside a quiet tape.
- Side filter. Longs for a downside flush, shorts for a squeeze, or either — point the alert at the move you're waiting to trade.
- One coin or any coin. Track a symbol you hold, or scan the whole USDⓈ-M board and let the alert surface wherever the next flush lands.

Know when a cascade is picking up speed.
A single spike is a moment; a cascade is a chain reaction. The worker detects a continuous run of liquidations, smooths out the blips with hysteresis, and alerts you the instant a coin starts cascading — then again as the flow escalates through tiers at 2×, 5×, and 10× its opening size.
- Start ping. Fired the moment a real cascade opens — a genuine continuous run, not the single-blip noise a raw threshold trips on.
- Escalation tiers. Follow-up pings at 2×, 5×, and 10× the starting size, so you can tell a fading flush from one that's still feeding on itself.
- Minimum size + side. Set a floor on total dollars and pick a side, so only cascades that actually matter to your book reach you.
- Start-only, if you want. Take just the opening ping and skip the escalation stream — quieter notifications when all you need is the heads-up.

How to set a crypto liquidation alert on Binance futures.
- 01Pick the market — one coin or all of themChoose a single Binance USDⓈ-M symbol, or set the scope to any coin and the alert becomes a market-wide scanner that fires on whichever perp breaks first. Either way it reads the same USDⓈ-M forceOrder feed.
- 02Choose the side and the trigger modeLong for a downside flush, Short for a squeeze, or Any for both. Then pick Window mode — total liquidation dollars on that side — or Single mode, which watches for one outsized order instead of the sum.
- 03Set the window and the dollar thresholdPick a 5m, 15m, or 1h window and the USD figure that counts as meaningful for that market — $10M in 5 minutes reads very differently on BTC than on a small-cap perp. The builder writes the finished alert back in plain English before you save.
- 04Choose the channel and saveEmail, Telegram, Discord, or a JSON webhook into your own system. Leave it recurring with a cooldown — 30 minutes is the recommended default — or tick disable after first trigger if one ping is all you need.
What traders watch for
Flush lows, short squeezes, and the cascades that make them.
Bitcoin liquidation alerts for the capitulation flush
A wall of long liquidations is over-leveraged holders being force-closed, and that forced selling is often what carves the local low. Put a dollar threshold on the long side and you hear about the flush while it prints, not after the bounce. Those candles frequently leave a long lower wick behind them, which the wick detector flags on its own.
Short squeeze alerts when the crowd is offside
Point the same alert at the short side and it becomes a squeeze detector — shorts being force-closed is buying pressure, and it tends to arrive in bursts. Crowded positioning usually shows up in the funding rate first, so a funding rate alert on the same coin gives you the build-up while the liquidation alert gives you the break.
A market-wide liquidation scanner, not a watchlist
Run it any-coin and it sweeps the whole USDⓈ-M board — the perp you weren't watching is usually the one that breaks. If you'd rather read the tape yourself, the live liquidations board shows every forced close as it prints, grouped by coin and side across 5m, 1h, and 24h windows.
Liquidation events piped into your own tools
Choose webhook as the channel and every trigger arrives as a JSON POST to an endpoint you control — a script that de-risks when a cascade opens, a dashboard, a log you can review later. The other notification channels — Telegram, Discord, and email — work the same way when a message on your phone is enough.
Liquidation alerts — common questions
- What is a liquidation alert in crypto?
- It is a notification that fires when forced liquidations — positions an exchange closes because the margin ran out — cross a size you set. CoinBeacon watches the Binance USDⓈ-M futures forceOrder feed and offers two kinds: a spike alert on a dollar threshold, and a cascade alert that follows a run of liquidations as it accelerates. Traders use them because heavy forced selling often marks a capitulation low, and heavy forced buying marks a squeeze.
- What is the difference between window mode and single mode?
- Window mode sums every forced liquidation on your chosen side over a window — say total long liquidations in 5 minutes — and fires when that total crosses your dollar threshold. Single mode watches instead for one outsized order: the largest single liquidation in the window crossing the line, the mark of a whale getting flushed.
- How is a cascade alert different from a spike alert?
- A spike alert fires once when liquidations cross a level. A cascade alert tracks a continuous run: the worker detects when a coin starts cascading, smooths out the noise with hysteresis, and pings you again as the flow accelerates through 2×, 5×, and 10× its starting size — so you know a flush is picking up speed, not just that it began.
- Which exchange and market do liquidation alerts watch?
- Binance USDⓈ-M futures. Both alert types stream off the exchange's forceOrder websocket in real time, so notifications land within seconds of a liquidation printing. One limit worth knowing: the forceOrder stream emits at most one print per symbol each second, so in a violent cascade the summed dollars read as a floor rather than a full tally.
- Can a liquidation alert watch every coin at once?
- Yes. Set the scope to any-coin and either alert becomes a market-wide scanner across the USDⓈ-M board — whichever symbol crosses your threshold first names itself in the notification. Pick a single symbol instead when you only care about the coin you are actually holding.
- Which side should my liquidation alert watch, long or short?
- Match the side to the move you want to trade. Set it to Long to wait on a downside flush — the forced selling that tends to carve a local low — when you're hunting capitulation bottoms. Set it to Short to catch a squeeze, the forced buying that snaps a top. Leave it on Any to keep both sides open on one alert and let the notification tell you which one fired.
- Are crypto liquidation alerts free?
- Yes — nothing to pay. Both liquidation kinds run on the free tier that covers every CoinBeacon alert type: five live alerts at once, ten notifications a day, and any of the four channels — email, Telegram, Discord, or webhook. There's no card to enter and no exchange API keys to connect; a Google sign-in gets you in.
- How do I stop liquidation alerts from spamming me during a flush?
- Every alert has its own cooldown — 30 minutes is the recommended default — so a rolling flush sends one message rather than forty. You can also tick 'disable alert after first trigger' when a single ping is all you want, and cascade alerts have a start-only option that skips the 2×, 5×, and 10× escalation messages. Raising the dollar threshold or the minimum cascade size is the third lever.
