Pivot levels

Pivot levels are fixed formulas applied to one period's high, low and close. This tool does the arithmetic on the numbers you enter.

No market data is loaded. Every number comes from what you type, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Lines are to scale. The dashed line is the close you entered.

How it's calculated

R and S are the conventional names for the levels above and below P (from "resistance" and "support"). The names are labels for formulas; they do not mean price reacts at these levels.

  • Classic: 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 same P, then P ± 0.382, 0.618 and 1.000 × (H − L).

What this leaves out

  • These are formulas on the numbers you entered. They are not forecasts, signals or price targets. Not a recommendation.
  • The levels depend only on the three numbers you enter. They say nothing about what price will do.

Educational only. This calculator does arithmetic on the hypothetical numbers you enter. It is not financial advice or a recommendation, and it does not predict any result. Real trading includes costs and conditions this math leaves out.
