Pivot Point Calculator
Support and resistance from any high, low and close, in five pivot methods, with Nifty and Bank Nifty's last session one click away.
Enter any high, low, close and open to get classic, Fibonacci, Camarilla, Woodie and DeMark pivot points with every support and resistance level; Nifty and Bank Nifty's last session load with one click.
Pivot points turn one period's high, low and close into a set of support and resistance levels for the next period. Use a day's numbers for intraday levels, a week's for weekly levels and a month's for monthly ones. The calculator runs entirely in your browser.
The five methods
Classic (floor) pivots: P = (H + L + C) / 3; R1 = 2P - L, S1 = 2P - H; R2 = P + (H - L), S2 = P - (H - L); R3 = H + 2(P - L), S3 = L - 2(H - P).
Fibonacci: the classic P, with levels at 0.382, 0.618 and 1.0 times the range above and below it. Camarilla: levels around the close at the range x 1.1 divided by 12, 6, 4 and 2, so they sit tighter and suit intraday ranges.
Woodie: weights the close twice, P = (H + L + 2C) / 4, then R1 = 2P - L, S1 = 2P - H, R2 = P + (H - L), S2 = P - (H - L). DeMark: uses the open to pick X (H + 2L + C if the close is below the open, 2H + L + C if above, H + L + 2C if equal); P = X / 4, R1 = X / 2 - L, S1 = X / 2 - H.
Do pivot levels work?
They are widely watched, which is the main argument for them. Strota tested Nifty's and Bank Nifty's classic daily pivots over every session since 2012 against placebo levels at the same distance; the results are on the Nifty support and resistance page. Treat any level as a reference point, not a prediction.
Key takeaways
- Five methods: classic, Fibonacci, Camarilla, Woodie and DeMark.
- Use a day's high, low and close for the next day's levels; a week's or month's for longer ones.
- DeMark needs the open; the others use high, low and close.
- Calculations run in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate pivot points?
Take the previous period's high, low and close. The classic pivot is their average, (H + L + C) / 3; resistance R1 is 2 x pivot - low and support S1 is 2 x pivot - high. The calculator above does every method at once.
What is the Camarilla pivot formula?
Camarilla levels are measured from the close: R1 = C + (H - L) x 1.1 / 12, R2 = C + range x 1.1 / 6, R3 = C + range x 1.1 / 4, R4 = C + range x 1.1 / 2, and the support levels subtract the same amounts.
Which timeframe should I use?
Daily levels from the previous day suit intraday trading; weekly levels from last week's range suit swing trades; monthly levels suit positional views.
Where can I see today's Nifty pivot levels?
The Nifty and Bank Nifty support and resistance pages list today's daily, weekly and monthly pivots, updated after every session.
