Per-price-level long and short liquidation volumes with a leverage-tier estimate based on distance from spot. Use it as a histogram visualisation or as input to position-sizing logic - clusters of leverage near current price are where stop-cascades typically trigger. Leverage tiers are estimated from distance to spot:
Distance from spotTier
