๐Ÿ“–What is it?

Pivot points are technical analysis indicators that use the prior period's high, low, and close to calculate a central pivot level and three levels of support (S1รขโ‚ฌโ€œS3) and resistance (R1รขโ‚ฌโ€œR3). They are widely used by day traders and floor traders to identify potential reversal zones.

๐ŸŽฏHow to use

Enter the previous period's high, low, and close prices. The calculator computes the pivot point and all six support/resistance levels. These levels serve as potential entry, exit, and stop-loss points.

๐Ÿ’กExample scenario

Previous high = $155.50, low = $148.30, close = $152.00. Pivot = ($155.50 + $148.30 + $152.00) / 3 = $151.93. R1 = 2 รƒโ€” $151.93 รขห†โ€™ $148.30 = $155.57. S1 = 2 รƒโ€” $151.93 รขห†โ€™ $155.50 = $148.37.

๐Ÿ†Pro tip

Pivot points work best in liquid, range-bound markets. Combine them with volume analysis รขโ‚ฌโ€ a break through R1 or S1 on high volume is more significant. Many professional traders use weekly and monthly pivots in addition to daily ones.
