Using pivot points
Pivots work partly because so many traders watch them. Price often reacts around the central pivot and R1/S1. They are most useful alongside other support and resistance and during liquid sessions. Compare with Fibonacci levels.
FAQ
How are classic pivot points calculated?
Pivot P = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3. R1 = 2P − Low, S1 = 2P − High, R2 = P + (High − Low), S2 = P − (High − Low), R3 = High + 2(P − Low), S3 = Low − 2(High − P).
Which period should I use?
Day traders use the previous day’s high, low and close. Swing traders often use the previous week or month.
