How Pivot Points Are Calculated
The central pivot is the average of the prior High, Low and Close. Support and resistance levels then radiate outward from that pivot. The Classic method derives them from the pivot and the prior range; Fibonacci and Camarilla apply fixed multipliers to the range instead.
Level Formulas by Method
| Level | Classic | Fibonacci | Camarilla |
|---|---|---|---|
| R3 | H + 2×(PP − L) | PP + 1.000×(H − L) | C + 0.55×(H − L) |
| R2 | PP + (H − L) | PP + 0.618×(H − L) | C + 0.275×(H − L) |
| R1 | 2×PP − L | PP + 0.382×(H − L) | C + 0.183×(H − L) |
| PP | (H + L + C) / 3 | (H + L + C) / 3 | (H + L + C) / 3 |
| S1 | 2×PP − H | PP − 0.382×(H − L) | C − 0.183×(H − L) |
| S2 | PP − (H − L) | PP − 0.618×(H − L) | C − 0.275×(H − L) |
| S3 | L − 2×(H − PP) | PP − 1.000×(H − L) | C − 0.55×(H − L) |
Frequently Asked Questions
Day traders typically use the prior daily High, Low and Close to map intraday levels. Swing traders can feed in weekly or monthly values to project levels over a longer horizon. Match the input timeframe to the period you intend to trade.
Classic spaces levels evenly from the pivot and the prior range. Fibonacci weights the range by 0.382, 0.618 and 1.000 ratios. Camarilla centres tighter levels around the close, which suits mean-reversion setups. Try each on your chart to see which fits the instrument.
Many traders watch the pivot as a session bias line and treat R1-R3 and S1-S3 as potential reaction zones for entries, targets or stops. Levels are reference points, not signals; always combine them with your own analysis and a defined risk plan.
No. Pivot levels are fixed for the chosen session because they are built from the previous period's completed High, Low and Close. They stay constant until the next period closes, then you recalculate using the new prior values.
