BTC: Gate Perpetual Liquidations

Shown as its 2–31 Oct 2026 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.

USD value of BTC perpetual positions liquidated on Gate in each period, longs and shorts stacked.

Why use it. A single venue's liquidations with a longer history than our cross-venue liquidation charts, which start when our own capture began in October 2026. Long liquidations spike when a falling price forces leveraged buyers out, short liquidations when a rising price squeezes sellers. How to read it. Tall long bands with a falling price mark long squeezes; tall short bands with a rising price mark short squeezes. One venue only, so compare its spikes and trend with the cross-venue charts, not its level.

Calculation. Each period sums the USD value of the long and of the short positions liquidated on Gate's BTC perpetuals (USDT- and BTC-settled). Before our own capture of Gate's liquidation feed began, the values are Gate's published hourly contract statistics (each hour's long and short liquidations, the sum of its five-minute records), which Gate serves for the latest 180 days; from then on they are our own capture of the same liquidations, each valued in USD as Gate reports it. Over the days both covered (checked on 8 November 2026) the two agree to within 0.5% for the largest coins. An hour Gate's record lacks for one of the contracts leaves that hour, and its day, out; a period without any liquidation reads zero. Source: Gate's public hourly contract statistics (the USD value of the long and the short positions liquidated in each hour on each of its BTC perpetuals), read once by us on 8 November 2026 for the latest 180 days Gate serves (from 13 May 2026), joined to our own capture of Gate's public liquidation feed from 14 October 2026. Gate alone: other venues are not included.
