# Live Data Monitor

> Live 24/7 dashboards built from public data and streamed on YouTube: a Bitcoin chart with every liquidation, the gold spot price, and a lightning map of the Americas. Every stream names its data source, shows when it last updated, and flags stale data. No ads, no trading signals, no voice. Not financial advice and not an official alert system.

## Live streams

- [Bitcoin live chart with liquidation watch, 24/7](https://livedatamonitor.com/bitcoin/): BTC/USDT 1-minute candles from Binance USDS-M perpetual futures, refreshed every 20 seconds, plus every long and short liquidation from the Binance forceOrder stream in real time. Falling sparks are long liquidations, rising sparks are short liquidations, size is the notional value. Explains what liquidations are and why they move the price.

- [Gold price live: XAU/USD spot price and 24-hour chart, 24/7](https://livedatamonitor.com/gold/): XAU/USD spot in US dollars per troy ounce from gold-api.com, updated every 30 seconds; the last 24 hours sampled every minute and drawn as a 3D ingot. Explains spot versus futures, the troy ounce, trading hours and the LBMA benchmark. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QToP97dI-kg
- [Lightning map live: storms across the Americas, 24/7](https://livedatamonitor.com/lightning/): every flash detected by the Geostationary Lightning Mapper on NOAA GOES-19 and GOES-18, on a globe within about two minutes; storm cells as pulsing halos; Storm Pressure Index (flashes in the last ten minutes per storm region, trend versus the last thirty). Coverage is the western hemisphere only. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsWRZLGULgg

## Other monitors

- [Earthquake monitor](https://livedatamonitor.com/earthquakes/): every quake from the USGS feed scored 0-100 by population exposure, depth and magnitude, so a M4.8 under a city can outrank a M6.2 in the open ocean. Stream currently paused; method documented.
