Bitcoin Liquidation Price Alert on Bybit

this page models isolated margin: liq = entry × (1 − 1/leverage + mmr) for longs, entry × (1 + 1/leverage − mmr) for shorts. mmr comes from Bybit's bracket table for BTC, picked by your position's notional.

on cross margin the whole wallet is the buffer, so the real liq floats with your balance — treat this number as the closest the engine could reach you. estimate — exchanges compute exact liq from live margin; always double-check on your venue.

you're long BTC at $84,053, 20x, $2,500 notional. Bybit charges 0.33% maintenance margin at that size: $84,053 × (1 − 1/20 + 0.0033) = $80,127.

that's $3,925 of room — 4.67%. a 2.4% day is normal for bitcoin — tight by perp standards, which is exactly how accounts end up at 50x on it. the widest measured day still ran 3.9%, and the range being small does not make the leverage small: 2.0% is the tightest stop that clears the coin's own noise, and at 50x a 2.4% move is the whole position. funding at the example rate costs $0.75 a day on this size, and on isolated margin it comes out of that same room.

bybit's BTC table opens at 0.33% maintenance margin with 150x on offer, and that first step holds all the way to $300,000 notional. above it the rate steps to 0.50%, leverage caps at 100x, and that bracket runs to $2,000,000.

the bracket follows notional, so a winning position can grow into a higher one. this page stores Bybit's first 5 brackets for BTC and holds the last rate flat past them — check very large sizes on the venue itself.

bybit's book is deep enough that liqs clear in one print during normal hours, but it's also historically where the wickiest candles show up in thin weekend conditions — the 2021-era stop hunts were mostly bybit tape.

bitcoin does both: a 2.4% typical day on 1.7% of minute-to-minute movement, 3.9% at its widest, and no pattern to which one gets you. $472M across 21372 forced closes in 7 days, none over 3% of it: attrition, not one event, split 55%/45% long/short.

forced liquidations are market orders into the book that just moved against you, so the fill lands worse than the trigger. and leverage creeps: 5x becomes 10x after a win, and each time you double it the room more than halves.

a stop only triggers, and in a cascade it fills into the same wick as the engine. the alert fires earlier, while you can still close at a real price or add margin and push the liq away. free, no signup.

on BTC the first bracket is not the same trade on every venue: bybit runs 0.33% to $300,000 at 150x, hyperliquid 1.25% to $150,000,000 at 40x. bybit is the cheaper first bracket by 0.92% of entry on the same position.
