What are Pivot Points?
Pivot Points are calculated support and resistance levels based on the previous day's high, low, and close. They're widely used by day traders and institutional traders.
The central Pivot Point (PP) acts as the main support/resistance level. Above PP, the market is considered bullish; below PP, bearish. R1/R2/R3 are resistance levels; S1/S2/S3 are support.
Multiple calculation methods exist — Classic (floor), Fibonacci, Woodie, and Camarilla — each with different formulas and emphasis on previous price action.

Pivot points are self-fulfilling indicators — because so many traders use them, price often reacts at these levels. They work best in trending markets with good volume.
While primarily used for day trading, weekly and monthly pivot points can be calculated for longer timeframes by using the previous week's or month's high/low/close.
