Newhedge launched a 3D visualization called Bitcoin Battlefield that animates buyer and seller activity on a live market map.

Overview

The interface represents buyers as a green army and sellers as a red army, with frontline that advances alongside price movements.

When the bitcoin price rises, the green side pushes forward; when it falls, the red side regains ground on battlefield visualization.

Data sources and switching

The site draws spot prices from Binance, Coinbase and Kraken simultaneously, and provides an option to view data from a single exchange.

The map synchronizes data in real time and updates as trades execute, ensuring the frontline reflects the current spot price across selected venues.

Liquidation and visual effects

The visualization adds combat effects when large liquidations occur, translating orderbook events into aviation and artillery strikes on the map.

• $50K+ — helicopter strike is triggered to mark notable liquidations.
• $150K+ — larger airstrike animation denotes more significant volume events.
• $500K+ — carpet-bombing-style animation represents the largest liquidation clusters.

Visual elements include tanks, helicopters and missile strikes to represent trading aggression and brief volume spikes across the orderbook.

Purpose and privacy

The project aims to provide an engaging view of market dynamics for users who monitor order flow and liquidation events in real time.

No personal data is displayed; the visualization aggregates public market data rather than exposing individual trader identities or private orders.
