How to read the map
Bright bands. Brighter means more size at that price. Liquidations: where many leveraged positions would be liquidated if price gets there. These are estimates. A level disappears once a candle wick trades through it. Order book: real limit orders, sell orders above the price, buy orders below. The longer they stay, the brighter the band. Orders can be moved or cancelled.
Now column. The bars on the right are the same layer at this moment, level by level. A longer bar means more size at that price; the brightest bars are the levels that stand out. In All exchanges mode each bar is split by exchange colour.
$965KTags on the price scale. The biggest levels with their size in dollars. A dotted line runs from each across the chart.
Dollar scale. Above the map on the right: how many dollars sit in one 0.25% level for the dimmest colour and for the brightest. It follows the contrast slider.
Dashed lines. Average entry prices of whales: blue for longs, red for shorts, from Binance data. Turn them off with the Whales button.
Candles. The price. On narrow screens the price is a white line.
