Pivot Point Calculator

Enter the previous period’s high, low, close, and open prices to quickly view the results of 4 commonly used pivot point calculation methods and identify key support and resistance levels for the next period.
Please enter price data from the same period. The price unit must match the traded instrument.
Tip: The high price should be greater than or equal to the open and close prices; the low price should be less than or equal to the open and close prices.
Classic Pivot Points: The most common and widely used method, suitable for quickly identifying basic support and resistance levels in intraday trading.
Woodie Pivot Points: Places more emphasis on the close price, suitable for short-term reference when focusing more on recent price center changes.
Camarilla Pivot Points: Features denser support and resistance levels, often used to observe reversals and short-term entry and exit opportunities in ranging markets.
DeMark Pivot Points: More suitable for identifying key breakouts and directional bias, and useful as a confirmation tool.
Results may vary slightly across methods and can all be used as technical analysis references. If you are unsure which one to use, the Classic Pivot Point method is recommended as a starting point.

How are pivot points calculated?

Pivot points are usually calculated based on the previous period’s high, low, and close prices to help identify potential support and resistance levels for the next period. Different methods use slightly different formulas. This page displays 4 commonly used methods. The example below explains the Classic Pivot Point method.
Assume that for a certain trading instrument, the previous period’s high is 1.1050, the low is 1.0950, and the close is 1.1000.

Step 1: Calculate the Pivot Point (P)
Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
(1.1050 + 1.0950 + 1.1000) ÷ 3 = 1.1000

Step 2: Calculate the Resistance and Support Levels
First Resistance Level (R1) = (2 × P) − Low = 1.1050
First Support Level (S1) = (2 × P) − High = 1.0950
Second Resistance Level (R2) = P + (High − Low) = 1.1100
Second Support Level (S2) = P − (High − Low) = 1.0900

Conclusion: Under the Classic Pivot Point method, the pivot point for the next period is 1.1000. Key resistance may be found near 1.1050 and 1.1100 above the price, while key support may be found near 1.0950 and 1.0900 below the price.
Please note: DeMark Pivot Points also take the open price into account, so you need to enter the open price when viewing DeMark results.
