How to Calculate Pivot Point
Calculate daily pivot points and support/resistance levels for technical analysis.
The Formula
PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3The pivot point formula uses the mathematical relationship: PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3. Each variable in the formula represents a measurable quantity that affects the final result.
Step-by-Step Method
- 1Identify all input values needed for the pivot point calculation.
- 2Substitute your known values into the formula: PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3.
- 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
- 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
- 5Verify using the interactive Pivot Point Calculator to confirm your answer.
