ASTER Liquidation Heatmap
Estimated liquidation levels built from open-interest changes, price action and taker flow — model estimates, not exchange-published figures. Totals are anchored to open interest, with both a long and a short liquidation level per contract; clusters far from the current price are upper-bound estimates, since positions closed voluntarily cannot be observed.
Estimated liquidation levels across exchanges, built from open-interest changes, price action and taker flow on our own data — brighter cells mark price zones where more leveraged positions would be liquidated. These are model estimates (leverage cohorts at 10x/25x/50x/100x), not exchange-published figures; dollar values are estimated notional at risk, anchored to open interest. Updates every minute.
The heatmap maps estimated ASTER liquidation levels around the current price of $0.6952, built from open-interest changes and price action across exchanges and anchored to open interest. Cluster sizes are model estimates — upper bounds, not exchange-published figures.
About the Aster liquidation heatmap
The Aster liquidation heatmap — the ASTER heatmap, or ASTER heat map — plots estimated liquidation levels for ASTER futures by price and time, so you can see where leveraged longs and shorts would be forced out.
ASTER emerged from the perp-DEX boom with one of the most explosive debuts of its cohort, and its derivative market inherited that energy: volatile discovery-phase price action, rapid open-interest swings and a leverage crowd trading momentum on both sides. Its heatmap is correspondingly lively — zone structure can rebuild wholesale within days.
Trading a young, volatile token argues for reading the map defensively: dense near-price zones show where cascades could start, and the aggregated view smooths out single-venue quirks that matter more when overall liquidity is still maturing. Cross-checking with ASTER's open-interest chart shows whether the market is in an expansion or flush phase.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the ASTER zone structure rebuild so fast?
Discovery-phase markets churn open interest at high speed — positions open, liquidate and reopen within short spans, so the estimated level map turns over just as quickly.
Which venues feed the ASTER heatmap?
All exchanges we track that list ASTER futures; the aggregated view merges them and the dropdown isolates any single venue's own open interest and volume.
What should I check alongside the ASTER map?
The open-interest and realized-liquidation charts on the ASTER coin page — expanding OI with dense zones near price is the classic setup for cascade risk in a young market.
