Pivot point calculator

Turn the previous period’s prices into a transparent level map. Compare five common formulas and see every level on one price ladder.

Previous period

Use one consistent session or candle. Mixing daily and intraday values makes the levels meaningless.

Choosing a method

  • Classic: the common baseline based on high, low, and close.
  • Fibonacci: places support and resistance at Fibonacci fractions of the range.
  • Woodie: gives the close more weight.
  • Camarilla: clusters levels around the close and adds a fourth extension.
  • DeMark: adjusts the calculation based on the relationship between open and close.

Use one market session

For daily pivots, decide which close your market uses and stay consistent. A broker’s server-day candle may differ from an exchange session or New York close.
