Chart informationBitcoin: Implied Volatility (DVOL)

About This Indicator

DVOL is Deribit's BTC implied volatility index, derived from the prices of BTC options — it reflects what options markets expect volatility to be over the coming 30 days, forward-looking rather than the backward-looking Realized Volatility chart elsewhere in this library. Like realized volatility, DVOL is not directional: both capitulation bottoms and euphoric tops show elevated readings. Note: DVOL history only goes back to Deribit's index launch on 2021-03-24, far shorter than most other charts in this library.

  • BTC Liquidation HeatmapEstimates where leveraged BTC perpetual futures positions are likely to be liquidated. No free data source publishes real per-position liquidation prices — exchanges don't disclose them, and Coinglass-style heatmap APIs gate this behind a paid tier — so this is a disclosed model, not real liquidation data: it splits each day's total open interest across five assumed leverage tiers (5x-100x), treats the trailing 30 days of closing prices (recency-weighted) as a proxy for where positions were entered, and plots the resulting estimated liquidation prices as a density heatmap around price.
