Q

This page tracks forced liquidations of leveraged positions in this asset across all covered exchanges. Every event is recorded from the exchange's own risk engine in real time: a forced sale (or buy-back) of collateral that could no longer support the position.

This page tracks forced liquidations of leveraged Q positions in real time. A liquidation happens when an exchange's risk engine closes a margined position at market price because its collateral can no longer cover the loss. Every event on this page is a real order-book execution recorded within seconds of happening, not a model, not an estimate.

The long/short split at the top tells you who is being wiped out. Right now it's longs: with 82% of the volume coming from forced sellers, Q is in a falling market where over-leveraged buyers are capitulating. Sustained long-side liquidations often precede capitulation bottoms.

In the last 24 hours 196 Q positions were force-closed for a total of $122K, peaking around 00:00 UTC. Since we started recording, 54,743 Q liquidations worth $63.3M have been captured across all covered venues.

Numbers differ between trackers, sometimes by millions. There are three honest reasons: exchanges changed their public feeds over the years, some vendors interpolate gaps, and aggregated sources double-count. We record what the engines actually send, mark every aggregated record with its source, and never backfill estimates, that is why numbers here are traceable to the feeds they came from.

Altcoin liquidations are usually a consequence, not a cause: when BTC deleverages, risk engines across every altcoin book trigger together. Altcoin cascades are therefore sharper and shorter than BTC ones.
