Good to know

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 pivots use the same P and add or subtract 38.2%, 61.8% and 100% of the range (H − L). Camarilla levels are built around the close: R1–R4 = C + (H − L) × 1.1 ÷ 12, 6, 4, 2, and S1–S4 the same below the close.

For intraday use the previous day's high, low and close; for swing trades use the previous week or month. Levels are reference points many traders watch, not predictions. This is an estimate for learning, not investment advice.

Questions

How is the pivot point calculated?

Add the previous high, low and close and divide by 3.

Which pivot method is best?

None is best for all markets. Classic is the most widely watched; Camarilla gives tighter levels for intraday; Fibonacci spaces levels by Fibonacci ratios.

Which close should I use for Nifty?

The official closing price of the previous session for intraday levels.

Do pivot points work for stocks and indices?

They can be calculated for any instrument with a high, low and close.

Are these buy or sell signals?

No. They are levels to watch. Use them with your own analysis and risk control.
