Pivot Point Calculator

Pivot Point Calculator derives the central pivot and its support/resistance levels (S1–S3, R1–R3) from the previous period's high, low, and close, a staple reference framework for intraday technical analysis.

The central pivot is the average of the prior high, low, and close, and the surrounding levels project likely zones where price may find support or resistance. Traders commonly read price above the pivot as bullish bias and below as bearish, using the R and S levels to anticipate where a move might stall or turn, objective, pre-calculated reference points for the session.

As with all such tools, pivots are references, not predictions: price needn't respect any level, and they work best alongside other signals like trend and volume rather than in isolation. Part of their value is self-fulfilling, because so many traders watch them, reactions tend to cluster around the levels.

Use the previous completed period's data (the prior day's H/L/C for daily intraday pivots) and recalculate each period. It's an analysis aid, not trading advice, and runs in your browser. Pair it with the Fibonacci, Risk-Reward, and other ToolsMonk trading calculators.
