Who’s getting liquidated right now.

Cascading right now

A cascade is one coin unwinding continuously — forced selling driving price into the next tier of stops, which forces more selling. Thresholds scale to each coin’s own 24-hour volume, so a microcap unwinding counts as much as a major. The escalation tag is a multiple of the notional the cascade started with: 2× means it has already liquidated twice what it began on, and 10× means it is still accelerating rather than burning out. Cascades also surface alongside the other fast boards on the markets overview, which is where a cascade with a matching volume surge or funding extreme stops being an isolated print and starts being a market event.

Most liquidated coins (24h)

Ranked by total forced closes over the last 24 hours, with the split between longs and shorts. 493 coins saw liquidations in this window. This is the top of that list; the app ranks the full set, re-ranks it on a 5-minute or 1-hour window, and puts an alert button on every row.

Biggest recent hits

Individual forced closes as they printed — the large ones, since a public board reads better without every $30 scalper in it. The largest of the last 200 prints was $12.2K on BTW. The unfiltered tape is in the app, with your own minimum size and a long/short filter on it.

Then put it on the chart

A total tells you how much was liquidated. It does not tell you where. Click any coin on the board in the app and the chart below redraws for that symbol, so you can see the level the forced closes actually happened at — which is usually the level price comes back to.

Liquidation bubbles on price

One bubble per forced close, drawn at the price it filled and sized by dollar notional. Clusters at a single price are where the stops were sitting.

Long / short liquidation volume

Liquidated dollars per candle in its own pane — longs plotted up, shorts down. This is where a flush turns into a squeeze, one candle at a time.

Open interest

The dollar value of all open futures positions, in its own pane. Open interest falling through a liquidation cluster means leverage was genuinely removed, not rotated.

5m to 1d, layers optional

Timeframes run 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d. Every layer except the candles can be switched off, and the choice sticks between visits.

The chart is open without an account, serving the last 24 hours of prints above $5,000 for the coin you pick. Signing in is what swaps the tape’s 10-second poll for a live socket, and what lets you turn any of this into an alert.

A board tells you it happened. An alert tells you as it happens.

Cascades are over in minutes — reading about one afterwards is not the same as being told while it runs. CoinBeacon watches the stream server-side, so nothing depends on you keeping a tab open. A liquidation alert fires on a dollar threshold, either as a rolling total over 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour or 4 hours, or on a single forced close big enough to clear it on its own, and can be pinned to longs or to shorts. A cascade alert fires when a coin starts unwinding continuously, and can re-fire at each 2×, 5× and 10× escalation so you hear about it getting worse, not only about it starting.

How to read this board

01

Long liquidation = forced selling

This is the one people invert. A long liquidation means longs were force-closed, and closing a long means selling — so a wall of long liquidations is forced selling pressure, not bullish news. Shorts rekt is the mirror: forced buying.

02

Single prints versus clusters

One large liquidation is a story about one trader. A stream of them in the same coin, same direction, inside a few minutes is a story about the market — that is when price is being pushed rather than discovered.

03

Cascades are the tail that matters

Most liquidations are noise. A cascade is the exception worth acting on: continuous forced closes accelerating through stop tiers. They are short-lived, which is exactly why an alert beats a board.

04

The window you pick is the story you get

Five minutes answers "is something happening now". Twenty-four hours answers "who has been paying all day". A coin can top the 5-minute board on one violent flush and not appear in the 24-hour ranking at all — switch the window before you conclude anything about a coin.

05

Not every ticker here is a coin

Binance USDⓈ-M lists tokenized traditional-market instruments — stocks, index products, gold, silver, oil, gas — as leveraged perpetuals, and they get force-closed the same way. Those tickers are tagged in the app, so a non-crypto name on a crypto board is a real liquidation, not a data fault.

Questions

What is a crypto liquidation?

A liquidation is a forced close. When a leveraged position can no longer cover its margin, the exchange closes it at market — the trader does not choose the moment. Each print on this board is one of those forced closes.

What is the difference between a long and a short liquidation?

A long liquidation means longs were force-closed, which means forced selling into the market — it reads bearish. A short liquidation means shorts were force-closed, which means forced buying — it reads bullish. This catches people out constantly, because the word “long” next to a big number looks positive at a glance.

Where does this data come from?

Binance's all-market force-order stream for Binance USDⓈ-M perpetual futures. That is this venue only — not other exchanges, not COIN-M, not spot. Other liquidation sites aggregate more venues, so their totals will be larger.

Why are these numbers lower than other liquidation sites?

Two reasons, and both are honest ones. First, this covers a single venue. Second, Binance publishes at most one liquidation print per symbol per second — so during exactly the fast cascades you care about, the real total is higher than what any consumer of that stream can observe. These are observed liquidations. Sites showing figures several times larger are extrapolating from the same throttled feed.

What is a liquidation cascade?

One coin liquidating continuously rather than in isolated prints — forced selling pushing price into the next tier of stops, which forces more selling. The board flags a cascade when a coin's liquidation flow runs far above its own normal, with thresholds scaled to that coin's 24-hour volume. Escalation is then marked in multiples of the notional the cascade started with: 2×, 5×, 10×.

Can I see liquidations on a price chart?

Yes. Pick any coin from the board and the chart redraws for that symbol: candles with every forced close plotted as a bubble at the price it filled and sized by its dollar notional, a long-versus-short liquidation-volume histogram in its own pane, and open interest in another. Timeframes run 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d, and each layer can be switched off. Without an account the chart serves the last 24 hours of prints above $5,000.

Do I need an account to see liquidations?

No. The totals, the cascade strip, the most-liquidated table, the tape and the per-coin chart are all readable signed out — no email, no trial. The tape refreshes on a 10-second poll for anonymous visitors. Signing in swaps that poll for a streaming socket, so each forced close appears the moment Binance publishes it, and it is what lets you set an alert instead of watching a screen.

Do liquidations predict price?

They do not predict, but they explain and they cluster. A wave of long liquidations is forced selling that often overshoots, which is why sharp reversals frequently follow a cascade. Traders use them to spot capitulation and to avoid being the liquidity that fills someone else's forced exit.

How often does this page update?

The data behind it is at most about a minute old, and the timestamp above shows the age of the data itself rather than when the page rendered. The board inside the app moves faster: totals re-poll every 30 seconds, cascades every 15, and the tape either polls on 10 seconds or streams over a socket once you are signed in.

Can I get alerted when a coin gets liquidated or starts cascading?

Yes, and they are two different alert types. A liquidation alert fires on a dollar threshold — either the total liquidated over a rolling 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour or 4-hour window, or a single forced close that clears the threshold on its own — and can be limited to longs or to shorts. A cascade alert fires when one coin starts unwinding continuously, with an optional minimum size and an option to re-fire at each 2×, 5× and 10× escalation. Both deliver to email, Telegram, Discord or a webhook, and both are on the free plan, which allows 5 active alerts and 10 notifications a day.
