For each bucket, the aggregator sums quantities across the four sources and keeps the per-exchange contribution alongside the total.
An absorbed wall took trades for at least 5% of its peak size, still held at least 85% of that peak at the minute's close, and price did not break through it.Full methodology
For AI agents: the MarketTrace MCP server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets an AI assistant such as Claude or Cursor call a data source directly. The MarketTrace Crypto MCP gives it 11 read-only tools over the same pipeline as this site: 9 perpetuals on Binance, Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid. It is free, with an email sign-in and no API key or card.
Exocharts' pages do not state an MCP server.

The MCP reports what it can measure and self-declares how much to trust each number. It never returns a trade recommendation; it reports history and coverage-honest facts.
Each metric comes with its coverage (the venues that fed it and the history behind it), and every response states its age.MCP methodology
It is read-only: it cannot trade and holds no exchange keys. There is no liquidation heatmap tool yet. Liquidation totals cover Binance, Bybit and OKX, because Hyperliquid has no liquidation feed.
