Pivot points are calculated using previous day's data (High, Low, Close). The central Pivot Point (P) is the average of these three. Resistance (R1, R2) and Support (S1, S2) levels are determined by the volatility around this central point.
If price approaches a Support level (S1, S2) and shows signs of reversing (wicks, bullish candles), enter a LONG position targeting the Pivot Point.
If price approaches a Resistance level (R1, R2) and fails to break through, enter a SHORT position targeting the Pivot Point.
If price smashes through a pivot level with high volume, trade in the direction of the breakout, targeting the next level (e.g., Break R1 → Target R2).
Pivot points work best when combined with other indicators like RSI or MACD. A pivot level alone is not a guarantee of a reversal.
