Pivot Point Calculator computes support/resistance levels for technical trading. Formula: PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3; R1 = (2×PP) − Low; S1 = (2×PP) − High.

Formula

PP = (H + L + C) / 3; R1 = (2×PP) − L; R2 = PP + (H−L); S1 = (2×PP) − H; S2 = PP − (H−L)
  • Pivot point divides range into 4 zones: support, resistance
  • Used in intraday and swing trading for entry/exit levels
  • More reliable in trending markets with higher volume

High 105, Low 100, Close 102

Inputs
  • Daily High: 105 $
  • Daily Low: 100 $
  • Close Price: 102 $

PP = (105+100+102)/3 = 102.33; S1 = 204.67−105 = 99.67; R1 = 204.67−100 = 104.67
