About Pivot Points Calculator Online
This tool computes daily pivot points and the surrounding support and resistance levels using the previous session's high, low, and close. The classic pivot point (PP = (H + L + C) / 3) divides the next session's price action into bullish (above PP) and bearish (below PP) regions, with R1, R2, R3 above and S1, S2, S3 below.
Pivot points are popular with day traders because they require no subjective drawing — the levels are fixed for the next session as soon as the previous one closes. Many institutional algorithms use them to mark intraday targets and reversal zones.
The tool supports multiple pivot methodologies: classic (floor trader), Fibonacci, Camarilla, Woodie, and Demark. Each produces slightly different levels — try several to see which fits the asset you trade.
How to use this tool
How to compute classic floor-trader pivot points
Enter prior high
"Prior high" is the highest price during the previous completed session (yesterday's high for daily pivots, last week's high for weekly). Must be ≥ low — otherwise the tool errors out.
Enter prior low
"Prior low" is the lowest price during the same session. Mid-session updates won't change the pivots; the formula uses prior session's H/L/C, not intraday.
Enter prior close
"Prior close" is the closing print from that same session. For 24-hour markets (FX, crypto), pick a consistent session boundary — usually New York close.
Press Run
Result returns pivot = (H+L+C)/3, r1 = 2P − L, s1 = 2P − H, r2 = P + (H−L), s2 = P − (H−L), each rounded to 6 decimals. Use levels for support/resistance, not as signals on their own.
