How to Use Pivot Points

Standard Pivot Point is the most widely used — calculated from the previous session's High, Low, and Close.

Pivot (P) = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3 R1 = (2 × P) − Low S1 = (2 × P) − High R2 = P + (High − Low) S2 = P − (High − Low) R3 = High + 2×(P − Low) S3 = Low − 2×(High − P)

Trading rules: Price above Pivot = bullish bias, look for buys at S1/S2. Price below Pivot = bearish bias, look for sells at R1/R2. R3/S3 are extreme levels — rarely reached but very significant when they are.

About This Calculator

The Pivot Point Calculator generates key support and resistance levels for NSE intraday and swing trading based on the previous session's High, Low, and Close prices. Pivot points are one of the most widely used technical analysis tools among professional NSE traders — they provide objective, mathematically derived levels where price is likely to find support or resistance during the next trading session. On NSE, pivot points are used extensively for NIFTY 50 and BANK NIFTY intraday trading. When NIFTY opens above its daily pivot, the bias is bullish and traders look for buying opportunities near S1 and S2. When it opens below the pivot, the bias is bearish and resistance is expected at R1 and R2. Pivot levels also work as profit targets — many intraday traders exit positions when price reaches the next pivot level. The calculator supports four pivot point methods: Standard (most widely used), Camarilla (preferred for mean reversion setups), Woodie's (gives more weight to closing price), and Fibonacci (uses Fibonacci ratios for support/resistance distances).

Formula

Standard Pivot: PP = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3 R1 = (2 × PP) − Low S1 = (2 × PP) − High R2 = PP + (High − Low) S2 = PP − (High − Low) R3 = High + 2(PP − Low) S3 = Low − 2(High − PP) Camarilla: R/S levels = Close ± (High − Low) × multiplier Woodie: PP = (High + Low + 2 × Open) ÷ 4 Fibonacci: Levels at 38.2%, 61.8%, 100% of range from PP

Worked Example

NIFTY 50 previous session: High = 23,648, Low = 23,412, Close = 23,527 Standard Pivot = (23,648 + 23,412 + 23,527) ÷ 3 = 23,529 R1 = (2 × 23,529) − 23,412 = 23,646 R2 = 23,529 + (23,648 − 23,412) = 23,765 R3 = 23,648 + 2(23,529 − 23,412) = 23,882 S1 = (2 × 23,529) − 23,648 = 23,410 S2 = 23,529 − (23,648 − 23,412) = 23,293 S3 = 23,412 − 2(23,648 − 23,529) = 23,174

Frequently Asked Questions

NSE intraday traders calculate NIFTY pivot levels each morning before market open. If NIFTY gaps above the pivot, they look to buy on the first pullback toward the pivot or S1. If it gaps below, they look to short at the pivot or R1. Most traders target the next pivot level as their profit objective and place stops below the previous level.
Standard pivot points work well for BANK NIFTY directional trades. Camarilla pivots are particularly popular for BANK NIFTY mean reversion scalping — the tighter C3/C4 levels act as reversal zones when BANK NIFTY makes extreme intraday moves. Many professional BANK NIFTY traders use both methods together.
Yes — weekly pivots use the previous week's High, Low, Close and provide support/resistance for the entire week. Monthly pivots use the previous month's data and are significant for swing traders. Weekly pivots for NIFTY 50 are widely watched by institutional traders and often act as very precise turning points.
NSE pivot points reset daily at 9:15 AM IST when the new session opens. Calculate pivot levels using the previous day's OHLC data, which is available after 3:30 PM close. Many traders prepare their pivot levels the evening before for the next trading day.
