What is the Sui Liquidation Heatmap?
The Sui Liquidation Heatmap shows where leveraged SUI/USDT positions would be force-closed if price reached them. Each band is a measure of stored risk, and the market has a habit of finding the largest ones.
Intensity is the variable to watch. A single bright band above the current price tells you a rally has something to accelerate into, while a ladder of bands below tells you a flush would have several stages rather than one.
Sui attracts an unusually leveraged retail crowd for its size, and it shows in the shape of its moves. Trends persist longer than comparable assets and then retrace hard once the crowded side is cleared out, with leverage rebuilding quickly afterwards. That cycle makes the heatmap especially readable here, because clusters reform in recognisable patterns after each flush.
How to Read Our Liquidation Heatmap
Each element of the SUI heatmap is doing a specific job:
- Color Intensity: Bright regions carry the heaviest leveraged SUI exposure and are where a move is most likely to extend rather than fade.
- Horizontal Bands: Stacked bands identify the levels where liquidation orders have piled up, often marking the edges of the current range.
- Volume Scale (left): Gives the USD weight of exposure at each level, which is how you judge whether a cluster can actually move price.
- Price Scale (right): Ties clusters to live SUI prices, giving exact levels to trade around rather than approximate zones.
- Candlestick Path (center): Shows SUI price moving through the exposure field, useful for spotting when a trend is running out of fuel above it.
- Time Axis (bottom): Connects risk to specific sessions, which highlights how quickly SUI leverage rebuilds after a flush.
