Color · concentration
Brighter zones indicate higher relative intensity in the source heatmap. They are not exact dollar amounts of future liquidations.
HEATMAP GUIDE
See the levels. Separate estimates from events.
The heatmap adds colored zones of estimated potential liquidations to the chart. It helps you compare price levels over time, while nearby arrows show liquidation events actually received.
Open charts →Height · price
A zone’s vertical position represents a price level. Compare it with candles and the current price.
Width · time
The horizontal axis shows when a level was present in the heatmap data. The heatmap follows the chart as you pan.
Enabling the heatmap
Select a coin and enable Heatmap in its chart toolbar. Each chart has its own setting. The heatmap remains visible while panning and zooming; it is disabled on the one-second timeframe.
Heatmaps and arrows work together
The Swolecharts heatmap shows estimated levels; LiqSignal arrows show events from the received liquidation feed. An arrow near a zone does not prove the entire zone has been liquidated: sources, coverage and update times may differ.
Source availability matters
The heatmap depends on data availability for the coin and period and on the external source. An absent zone does not mean there are no potential liquidations. Estimates may change and updates may be delayed.
Frequently asked questions
Will price necessarily reach a bright zone?
No. Brightness represents an estimated concentration, not a guaranteed price direction or target.
Why does the heatmap differ from a wave total?
The heatmap estimates potential levels. A wave adds events already received under LiqSignal’s rules. These are different datasets, so their values need not match.
