Trend and moving averages

Pivot Points

Pivot points are support and resistance levels for today, calculated from yesterday's high, low and close: P = (H + L + C) ÷ 3, with R1-R3 above and S1-S3 below.

How to read it

  • Price above P = bullish bias for the day; below P = bearish bias.
  • R1 / S1 are the first levels where the price often reacts.
  • Mostly used on intraday charts.

Settings

Classic formula from the previous session.

Example rule to test

Intraday idea: watch how the price behaves near R1 and S1 in the first hour.

Common mistake

Expecting exact reversals at every level; use them as zones.
