The live order book heatmap (resting bids and offers, drawn with every trade) is in the terminal and free all day on BTCUSDT with an account. Liquidation rails on BTC are free there too, as a forward test; reported liquidations and Hyperliquid levels are Pro.

> What the shaded rows and the bars are

Shaded rows mark prices where leveraged positions would be forced to close if price gets there, built from this market's own price and volume. A map of fuel, not a prediction: it says nothing about whether price will go there.

The bars on the right are real positions we can currently see on Hyperliquid, a different exchange. They are not all open interest, and they are a snapshot of this minute rather than a history.

Common BTC questions

Where is the BTC liquidation map?

On its own page: the live levels where leveraged BTC positions would be forced out, drawn over the last 48 hours, with a daily check of how often reported liquidations came there. The 30-day chart on this page draws a modelled map from BTCUSDT's own price and volume, plus the Hyperliquid positions we can see now. In the live terminal, BTC liquidation rails are free with an account (a forward test); reported liquidations and Hyperliquid levels are Pro. Open the BTC liquidation map

Is the BTC order book heatmap free?

Yes, with a free account. The terminal's Real-time view draws the live BTCUSDT order book (resting bids and offers) with every trade, free all day. Pro adds the same view on every other market, all day. Open the live BTC heatmap, free

Can I replay past BTC moves?

Yes. A free account replays the recorded BTCUSDT order book and trades from the last 72 hours. Pro reaches back up to 90 days on Binance. Archived BTCUSDT events are listed with replay links; access is checked when you open one. BTC market events and replays

Where does the BTC data come from?

From EdgeDepth's record of the BTCUSDT perpetual on Binance USDT-M: trades, liquidation reports, funding and open interest, 467 recorded days since 15 July 2025, plus the Hyperliquid positions we track. Order book history starts later, on 15 May 2026 at the earliest. A missing reading is shown as missing, never filled in. Coverage and methodology
