Pivot point calculator

The central pivot is the average of the previous period's high, low and close. Everything else follows: resistances above, supports below, projected from the range travelled.

These levels hold no magic. Their interest comes from the fact that many participants compute them the same way at the same hours — they become places where orders pile up, which is enough to make them observable.

The five methods answer different uses. Camarilla tightens levels around the close and targets the day; Fibonacci and Classic open wider; Woodie gives more weight to the open; DeMark produces only one support and one resistance, depending on whether the period closed above or below its open.

The result depends entirely on the hour at which your broker closes the day. Two platforms cutting at 22:00 and at midnight do not give the same pivots — and neither is wrong.

The prices used here are mid prices. On a wide-spread instrument a level can be touched on your platform without being touched here, and the other way round.

A level being crossed announces nothing. It marks a place where something happened, not a direction: what informs is the behaviour of price at contact, not the number itself.
