Uniswap liquidation map
Where leveraged UNI positions would be force-closed. Longs liquidate below the current price, shorts above it, and each bar is the position value stacked at that level. This covers the accounts we can read, not the whole market, and the table under the chart says exactly how much that is.
We hold positions for this market but are not drawing them: under 10% of open interest has a liquidation price inside the chart, so a map would be mostly empty space. A chart built on that would look precise and mean little.
Questions
What does the Uniswap liquidation map show?
Each bar is the dollar value of open leveraged Uniswap positions on Hyperliquid that would be force-closed if price reached that level. Long positions liquidate below the current price and shorts above it.
Is this every position?
No, and that is the most important thing on the page. Hyperliquid publishes positions per account, with no list of all accounts, so any map covers only the accounts its builder knows. We print our share of open interest beside the chart and withhold a coin when that share is too low to be meaningful.
Are these levels real orders?
No. They are liquidation prices of open positions, reported by the exchange itself. Nothing fires unless price actually arrives, and a level moves when a trader adds or removes margin.
Does price get pulled toward large clusters?
That is a popular claim and we have not seen it measured. We show where the largest cluster is and how big it is, and make no claim about where price will go.
How fresh is the data?
Reading every known account takes over an hour at the exchange's public rate limit, so this is a rolling snapshot, not a live feed. The age of the reads is printed above the chart, and positions read more than 6 hours ago are left out.
Why do the bar colours differ from other maps?
Ours are coloured by the actual leverage of the positions in each bar, as reported by the exchange. Some maps colour bars by the leverage that would be needed to liquidate at that price, which is a property of the price axis rather than of anyone's position.
