dYdX (DYDX) liquidations explained
dYdX is a DeFi project, and DYDX is a popular perpetual for leveraged traders. DeFi tokens often react strongly to market-wide liquidations, so knowing where DYDX positions get wiped out helps you spot likely wicks.
How to read the DYDX liquidation heatmap
Every bar is a price level where a large amount of leveraged DYDX positions would be liquidated. The longer the bar, the more money sits there.
- Green bars above price are DYDX short liquidations. If dYdX rises into them, shorts are forced to buy – that can push the price up faster.
- Red bars below price are DYDX long liquidations. If dYdX falls into them, longs are forced to sell – that can accelerate a drop.
- The gold line is the current DYDX price.
Why traders watch DYDX liquidation magnets
Large liquidation clusters attract price because they hold a lot of liquidity. Once a DYDX cluster is hit, the forced orders can cause a quick spike or wick – after that the level is usually "used up". Many traders use the nearest big cluster above and below as short-term targets and as zones where volatility can jump.
