Pivot Point Calculator

Pivot points turn yesterday's price range into today's map of likely support and resistance. Thispivot point calculator gives you all the popular methods side by side — Classic (floor), Fibonacci, Woodie, DeMark and Camarilla — plus the Central Pivot Range (CPR) with its width, so you can plan entries, targets and stop-losses for Nifty, Bank Nifty, stocks, commodities or crypto before the market opens.

How to use it

Enter the previous period's high, low and close (and the open for DeMark levels).
Read the levels for each method; R = resistance, S = support.
Watch how price behaves near the levels before acting.

Formulas

P = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 · R1 = 2P − L · S1 = 2P − H · R2 = P + (H − L) · S2 = P − (H − L)

Camarilla R1…R4 = C + (H − L) × 1.1 ÷ 12, 6, 4, 2 (S levels subtract)

Example

With a previous high of 25,250, low 24,980 and close 25,190, the pivot is (25,250 + 24,980 + 25,190) ÷ 3 = 25,140. R1 = 2 × 25,140 − 24,980 = 25,300and S1 = 2 × 25,140 − 25,250 = 25,030. A close near the high puts the pivot below the close — a mildly bullish set-up. Combine levels with the Fibonacci calculator and size trades with the position size calculator.

Frequently asked questions

What are pivot points?

Pivot points are support and resistance levels calculated from the previous period’s high, low and close. Intraday traders use the previous day’s values; swing traders use the previous week or month. Price often reacts near these levels because many traders watch them.

Which pivot type is best?

Classic pivots are the most widely watched. Camarilla levels sit closer to the close and suit range-bound intraday trading (fade at R3/S3, breakout beyond R4/S4). Fibonacci pivots use 38.2% and 61.8% of the range. Woodie pivots give extra weight to the close. No type is “best” — pick one and use it consistently.

What is CPR (Central Pivot Range)?

CPR has three lines: the pivot P = (H + L + C) ÷ 3, the bottom central pivot BC = (H + L) ÷ 2, and the top TC = 2P − BC. A narrow CPR often comes before a trending day; a wide CPR suggests a sideways day. It is popular among Nifty and Bank Nifty traders.

Which high, low and close should I use?

For intraday levels, use the previous trading day’s high, low and close (for NSE, the official close). For weekly pivots use last week’s values, and for monthly pivots last month’s.

Are pivot points reliable?

They are reference levels, not predictions. Use them with price action, volume and a stop-loss. This tool is for education and is not investment advice.
