How to use the map
scroll to zoom · drag to pan · draw on the chart: horizontal line, trend line, circle, rectangle or pen (drag or click two points) · click a drawing to select it, drag to move it, Delete removes it, Ctrl+Z undoes · the right rail shows how heavy each estimated cluster is
The map and its clusters are estimates. Not advice.
Price candles and volume: Binance spot.
Funding shows who is crowded. This map estimates where that leverage sits.
When funding reads a high squeeze probability, the map shows where the crowded side's estimated fuel sits by price.
For the ParadiseTeam, the liquidation map is one of the layers behind every decision we make, and every trade we share inside ParadiseFamilyVIP. Seats stay deliberately limited.

Four ideas behind the picture above.
Where leverage gets liquidated
Leveraged longs are force-closed when price falls to their liquidation level, which sits below their entry. Leveraged shorts are force-closed when price rises to theirs, above entry. So long fuel stacks below spot and short fuel stacks above it.
Why clusters act like magnets
When a lot of leverage shares a price zone, reaching it can force a wave of closes, and those forced trades push price further the same way. That is a squeeze cascade, and the big ones show up as they happen on the crypto whale alerts page. The brighter a band on the map, the heavier the estimated cluster.
The imbalance, in one number
The Squeeze-Fuel Imbalance compares how much estimated fuel sits above spot versus below. Positive leans upside, where stacked short liquidations can feed a move higher. Negative leans downside. It is a read of positioning, not a forecast.
Estimated map, real liquidations
No exchange publishes open interest by price, so every liquidation map, ours included, is a model built from open interest and price. We label it estimated. The liquidation totals at the top of this page are different: those are real, read from the exchanges we name.
Questions and answers
What is a crypto liquidation map?
A liquidation map estimates where leveraged positions would be force-closed by price level over time. Long positions are liquidated below their entry and short positions above theirs, so long fuel stacks below spot and short fuel stacks above it.
Is the liquidation map real exchange data?
No exchange publishes open interest by price level, so every liquidation map is a model. Ours is estimated from open interest and price data, and it is labelled estimated. The liquidation totals on the page are different: those are real liquidations, longs and shorts in dollars, read from the exchanges named on the page.
What is the Squeeze-Fuel Imbalance?
It is a single signed number that compares how much estimated liquidation fuel sits above spot versus below. Positive leans upside, negative leans downside. It is a read of positioning, not a forecast, and is not financial advice.
How does the liquidation map relate to funding rates?
Funding rates show which side is crowded and how badly. The liquidation map estimates where that leverage would be liquidated by price. When funding reads a high squeeze probability, the map shows where the crowded side's estimated fuel sits.
What is the Sweep Probability?
It is the MyCryptoParadise estimate of how likely price is to trade through the nearest heavy liquidation cluster on the chosen map. It is printed only as a banded, estimated historical frequency while it keeps earning its place on fresh market history. When it does not, the page says No edge. It is never advice.
Which exchanges do the liquidation totals cover?
The totals add up the liquidations we read from the exchanges the page names, and the page shows which ones reported in each window. Binance and Bybit are not included, so the totals cover those exchanges only, not every exchange.
