Cardano (ADA) Liquidation Map

What this is: a Cardano liquidation map you can open without an account (free 5-minute live preview, unlimited with Premium at $3.99/mo) - it shows, in real time, where leveraged ADA traders are getting forced out of their positions and where the next clusters sit relative to the current price. Every red bubble is a long liquidation, every green bubble a short - sized by how big the position was - plotted directly on the ADA price chart. A histogram on the right edge sums the liquidations at each price level, so you can see at a glance where the bodies are buried.

What the ADA liquidation map shows

MarginPad streams real liquidation events from nine perpetual-futures venues - Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, Gate, HTX, dYdX, BitMEX and Bitfinex - over public websockets. They are normalized and shown three ways: bubbles at the exact price and time of each liquidation, a price-level histogram of where ADA liquidations cluster, and a scrolling ticker of the largest hits. You can switch the timeframe between 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year.

How to read it

High-leverage positions liquidate on tiny moves, so they sit close to the current ADA price; lower-leverage positions sit further away. Dense histogram bands act like magnets and as support or resistance - once a cluster is consumed, that level often flips. Red (long) clusters sit below price; green (short) clusters sit above. Hover any bubble for the exchange, side, size and time.

Real liquidations vs estimated clusters

The bubbles and histogram are real events. There is also an optional Clusters layer - a model that estimates where future ADA liquidations are likely to sit, built from open-interest changes and an assumed leverage distribution. It is clearly labelled as an estimate, not exchange order-book data. A third Levels layer overlays the classic theoretical liquidation prices by leverage. Toggle any combination.

How deep is the ADA perpetual market?

When this page was last rebuilt (17 August 2026), ADA perpetuals carried $360.0 million of open interest - about 1.3% of Bitcoin's. Over the 24 hours before that snapshot, $564K of ADA positions were liquidated. Those figures are a snapshot; the live box at the top of this page always shows the current ones.

ADA is a thin market by open-interest standards, and that changes how you read this map: the same dollar flow moves price much further than it would on a major, so clusters sit closer together and get taken out in fast, violent sequences rather than one at a time.

How traders use the ADA liquidation map

Liquidation clusters are where forced orders pile up, and price is drawn toward them like a magnet - a large band of ADA long liquidations below spot is fuel for a flush lower, while a wall of short liquidations above is fuel for a squeeze higher. Many traders use the map to (1) avoid entering just above a thick long-liquidation band, (2) anticipate where a cascade might accelerate or exhaust, and (3) place take-profits just ahead of a cluster rather than inside it. It pairs naturally with ADA liquidation prices for your own position and the live ADA 24h liquidation total.

None of this is a signal on its own - clusters get consumed and levels flip. Treat the map as context, not a trade trigger, and rehearse the idea risk-free on the ADA paper-trading terminal before you size up.
