Hyblock alternative: Hyblock vs MarketTrace
v2.0.0 · checked on 2026-11-08
Both draw estimated liquidation levels. Hyblock lists far more coins, has a backtesting lab and a large set of indicators. MarketTrace has the heatmap free without an account, covers footprint and order book too, and publishes the rules behind its figures.

Liquidation heatmap
Where leveraged positions would be forced out if price gets there.
| Feature | Hyblock | MarketTrace |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Not on the free plan | All 9 perpetuals, 24h window |
| Longest range | 2 years | 30 days on Pro |
| Price | $69/mo, billed yearly | $4.99/mo, not on sale yet |
Expected dollars still open at each level, read at 19:16 UTC. Model: liqmap_model_v1.
Binance publishes at most one per symbol per second, so its count is a floor; OKX publishes an official sample. Hyperliquid has no liquidation feed: its open interest is left out of the model, and none of its liquidations are on the realized layer.
Each part is split into equal thirds at 25x, 50x and 100x.Full methodology
Funding and open interest
What leverage is paying right now, and how unusual that is.
| Feature | Hyblock | MarketTrace |
|---|---|---|
| Shown as | Open interest heatmap, funding and long/short indicators | Each venue's rate, rank and streak |
| Free | Basic indicators, with an account | All of it, no account |
| Price | $69/mo, billed yearly | $0 |
| Venue | Rate | Rank | Rows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binance | 0.0100% | 89.4 | 2,190 |
| Bybit | 0.0091% | 75.8 | 2,190 |
| OKX | 0.0056% | 66.2 | 812 |
| Hyperliquid | 0.0074% | 29.3 | 17,520 |
Each venue is ranked against its own history. Rows is how many settlements stand behind that rank.
A funding rate percentile of N means N% of the settlements in that venue's trailing 730 days printed at or below the current rate.
left = count of elements in S strictly less than current right = count of elements in S less than or equal to current rank = (left + right) / 2 percentile = (rank / |S|) × 100Full 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.
Hyblock has an API on its Professional plan. We found no official 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.

FAQ
Is Hyblock free?
A free Basic account gets the first tier of indicators and the chart. The liquidation heatmap starts on Advanced, at $69 a month billed yearly.
Does Hyblock cover Hyperliquid?
Its pricing page names Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Deribit, Phemex and Bitfinex as partners. Hyperliquid is not named.
How does the MarketTrace heatmap estimate levels?
Open interest rises open lots, each lot is split across 25x, 50x and 100x, and a level leaves the map once price reaches it. The five rules are in the methodology, and the model is versioned.
Does Hyblock have an MCP server?
We found no official one. Its API is on the Professional plan. MarketTrace has a free, read-only MCP server with 11 tools and no API key. It has no liquidation heatmap tool yet.
