Risk disclaimer
This calculator provides technical reference levels and is not investment advice.
What is a pivot point?
Pivot points derive from the previous period (often daily) H/L/C as a session reference: PP = (H+L+C)÷3.
R1/R2 are upside resistance and S1/S2 downside support. They are technical references, not guaranteed levels.
How to use
- Enter the previous high, low and close.
- Click Calculate to get PP, R1/S1 and R2/S2.
Formula
- PP = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
- R1 = 2×PP − Low; S1 = 2×PP − High
- R2 = PP + (High − Low); S2 = PP − (High − Low)
Example
High 105, low 95, close 100 → PP 100, R1 105, S1 95, R2 110, S2 90.
Price above PP suggests bullish bias; below suggests bearish bias.
FAQ
Daily only?
Any timeframe works — hours, days or weeks — using the prior period's H/L/C.
Will price hit these levels?
They are probabilistic references, not guarantees; combine with trend and volume.
