What are Pivot Points in Trading?
Pivot points are one of the most widely used technical analysis tools for determining market direction and potential support/resistance levels. Originally used by floor traders, pivot points help identify key price levels where the market might reverse or accelerate.
How to Calculate Pivot Points
The standard pivot point formula uses the previous period's high, low, and close: PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3. From this central pivot, support (S1, S2, S3) and resistance (R1, R2, R3) levels are calculated using mathematical formulas based on the price range.
Pivot Point Trading Strategies
Traders use pivot points in several ways: as entry and exit points, to set stop-loss orders, and to gauge market sentiment. When price is above the pivot point, it suggests bullish sentiment; below indicates bearish sentiment. Breakouts above resistance or below support levels often signal strong directional moves.
