Look, trading crypto without looking at a Liquidation Map is like driving a Ferrari blindfolded. You might survive for a minute, but eventually, you’re going to crash.

I learned this the hard way. Back in the day, I would place my Stop Loss exactly where everyone else did. And guess what? The market would wick down, hit my stop, take my money, and then pump 20%. Sound familiar? That’s because I was Exit Liquidity.

Today, I’m going to show you how to stop being the victim and start trading like a Market Maker using Coinglass.

WHAT IS A LIQUIDATION MAP?

Imagine a map that shows you exactly where other traders (the "Herd") have their pain points.

When traders open high-leverage positions (Long or Short), the exchange sets a Liquidation Price. If the price hits that level, their position is forcibly closed.

  • If a lot of people are Long, the liquidation levels are BELOW the current price.

  • If a lot of people are Short, the liquidation levels are ABOVE the current price.

Market Makers (MMs) see these clusters of money. And trust me, the price acts like a magnet to these levels. Why? because MMs need that liquidity to fill their massive orders.

THE STRATEGY: HUNTING THE HUNTERS

So, how do we use this on Coinglass? It’s simpler than you think.

1. Identify the Clusters

Go to the Liquidation Heatmap. Look for bright yellow or orange bars. These are zones with millions of dollars in stop-losses and liquidation orders.

  • Scenario A: Price is $95,000. There is a massive cluster of Long Liquidations at $94,200.

  • Probability: The price will likely dip to $94,200 to "clear the board" before moving up.

2. Don't Chase the Pump, Chase the Pain

Most newbies buy when green candles print. Smart Money buys when liquidations happen.

  • Wait for the price to dive into that yellow cluster.

  • Watch for a fast rejection (a long wick).

  • Enter the trade exactly when the "Herd" is getting wrecked.

3. Use Cumulative Liq Levels Delta (CLLD)

This is my secret weapon. If price is making a Lower Low, but the CLLD is making a Higher Low, that is a massive Bullish Divergence. It means bears are exhausted, and a reversal is imminent.

THE "SECRET SAUCE": THE 10X LEVERAGE TRAP 🤫

Here is the alpha regarding 2026 altcoins like $SOL or $SUI.
Retail traders love 10x leverage. It’s psychology.

  • If someone longs at $100 with 10x, their liquidation is roughly at $90 (-10%).

  • If they long with 5x, it’s at $80 (-20%).

  • MMs know this math. Place your bids slightly BELOW the obvious math levels (e.g., buy at $89.50, not $90). You will catch the absolute bottom wick.

YOUR ACTION PLAN (CHECKLIST)

Before you take your next trade on Binance:

  • Check Coinglass Liquidation Heatmap for your coin.

  • Are you buying right on top of a liquidation cluster? STOP. Wait for the sweep.

  • Mark the bright yellow lines on your TradingView chart.

  • Set your limit orders at those levels. Let the price come to you.

CONCLUSION

Trading is a Player vs. Player game. You are either the hunter or the hunted. The Liquidation Map is your cheat sheet to see where the other players are hiding. Stop guessing. Start hunting.
