Pivot Point Formulas

All pivot formulas use the previous period's High (H), Low (L), and Close (C). DeMark also uses Open (O).

Classic

PP = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = 2×PP − L  |  S1 = 2×PP − H
R2 = PP + (H − L)  |  S2 = PP − (H − L)
R3 = H + 2×(PP − L)  |  S3 = L − 2×(H − PP)

Woodie

Similar to Classic but gives double weight to the closing price.

PP = (H + L + 2×C) / 4

Camarilla

Camarilla provides 8 levels (R4 to S4) based on close and range.

R4 = C + range × 1.1/2  |  S4 = C − range × 1.1/2
R3 = C + range × 1.1/4  |  S3 = C − range × 1.1/4
R2 = C + range × 1.1/6  |  S2 = C − range × 1.1/6
R1 = C + range × 1.1/12  |  S1 = C − range × 1.1/12

Fibonacci

PP = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = PP + 0.382×(H−L)  |  S1 = PP − 0.382×(H−L)
R2 = PP + 0.618×(H−L)  |  S2 = PP − 0.618×(H−L)
R3 = PP + (H−L)  |  S3 = PP − (H−L)

DeMark

DeMark adjusts the pivot based on the relationship between open and close.

If C < O: X = H + 2×L + C
If C > O: X = 2×H + L + C
If C = O: X = H + L + 2×C
PP = X / 4
R1 = X / 2 − L  |  S1 = X / 2 − H

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pivot point?

A pivot point is a technical indicator that calculates potential support and resistance levels for the current trading day based on the previous day's high, low, and close prices. Floor traders have used pivots for decades to identify key price levels.

Which pivot formula should I use?

Classic is the standard. Woodie weights the close more heavily. Camarilla provides the most levels for intraday scalping. Fibonacci incorporates Fibonacci ratios. DeMark is the simplest, with just one resistance and support level.

How do I use pivot levels in trading?

R1 and S1 are the most watched levels — price often bounces or breaks at these points. R2/S2 serve as targets once R1/S1 are broken. Support & Resistance Finder can complement pivot levels with dynamic levels from recent price action.

Do pivot levels work on all timeframes?

Daily pivots are the most common. For weekly pivots, use last week's H/L/C. For monthly, use last month's data. The calculator works for any period — just change the input values.
