Liquidation Pressure Map & Cascade Fragility Index — BTC on Hyperliquid

Proof-of-concept for the Faro · Head of Data challenge. A forward-looking liquidation-risk metric: where the currently-open BTC leverage on Hyperliquid would be force-liquidated, and how fragile that makes the structure right now.

Live demo: https://javiai.github.io/faro-liquidation-pressure-map/ Single-page deliverable: the memo (4 sections + appendices) and the live, auto-updating charts in one self-contained file — served at the link above, and committed as docs/index.html (what GitHub Pages serves). Running the pipeline locally also writes a working copy to site/index.html.


The one-line idea

Faro already shows Liquidation Volume — liquidations that already executed (backward-looking flow). This metric is the other half on the time axis: the latent liquidation risk from positions that are still open, placed at the prices where they would trigger. From the map we derive:

  • Cascade Fragility Index (CFI, 0–100) — proximity-weighted concentration of…
