Using Bybit’s Public Liquidation Feed

2. No login is required to view aggregated market-wide liquidations across perpetual and inverse contracts.

3. Filter results by asset class—BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP—or by contract type: USDT-margined or coin-margined.

4. Each entry includes liquidation price, direction, size, and time in UTC format.

5. Historical data is retained for up to 72 hours; older records are not publicly archived on this page.

Retrieving Liquidation Data via Bybit API

1. Developers can access historical liquidation logs using the GET /v5/market/liquidation endpoint.

2. Authentication requires a valid API key with read permissions enabled.

3. Parameters such as symbol, start_time, and end_time allow precise date-range queries.

4. Response payloads include price, side, size, and execTime fields in JSON format.

5. Rate limits apply: 120 requests per minute for authenticated endpoints; unauthenticated calls are capped at 60 per minute.

Interpreting Liquidation Markers on TradingView Charts

1. Install the official Bybit TradingView plugin from the indicator library.

2. Apply the Bybit Liquidation Heatmap overlay to any supported symbol chart.

3. Red clusters indicate dense long liquidations; blue clusters highlight short squeeze zones.

5. Time-based filtering lets users isolate liquidations within the last 1 hour, 4 hours, or 24 hours.

Common Questions and Answers

Q: Can I export Bybit liquidation history to CSV?A: Not directly through the web interface. Users must parse API responses or use third-party tools that support Bybit’s REST endpoints to generate CSV output.

Q: Does Bybit store individual user liquidation records in account history?A: Yes. Go to Account → Transaction History → Liquidation Records to see personal forced closures with reason codes and margin balance snapshots.

Q: Why do some liquidations appear without corresponding order IDs?A: Liquidations occurring during system-wide volatility—especially during flash crashes—are logged at exchange level but may lack granular trade identifiers due to atomic settlement mechanics.

Q: Are liquidation prices adjusted for funding rate accruals?A: No. Liquidation prices reflect the index price at execution moment, excluding accrued funding. Funding settlements occur separately and do not retroactively modify liquidation triggers.
