Our free Forex pivot point calculator computes key support and resistance levels using five professional methods: Classic, Fibonacci, Camarilla, Woodie, and DeMark. Enter the previous session's high, low, close and open prices to get precise trading levels.
What Are Pivot Points?
Pivot points are technical indicators calculated from the previous trading session's high, low, and close prices. They identify potential support and resistance levels where price may reverse or stall. Traders use these levels to plan entries, exits, and stop-loss placements. Pivot points are widely used in day trading and scalping strategies.
Pivot Calculation Methods
There are five main methods: Classic (standard formula used by floor traders), Fibonacci (applies Fibonacci ratios to the range), Camarilla (focuses on intraday reversals using the close price), Woodie (gives more weight to the close), and DeMark (uses the relationship between open and close). Each method produces different levels suited to different trading styles.
How to Use the Pivot Calculator
Enter the previous session's high, low, close, and open prices. Select your preferred calculation method and decimal precision. Click calculate to see the pivot point (PP) along with support (S1–S4) and resistance (R1–R4) levels. Use these levels on your charts to identify key price zones.
Pivot Point Trading Strategy
A common strategy is to buy when price bounces off a support level (S1, S2) and sell when it rejects from resistance (R1, R2). The pivot point (PP) acts as the central bias: price above PP is bullish, below is bearish. Combine pivot levels with other indicators like RSI or moving averages for higher-probability setups.
