Formula & Methodology

Pivot (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
High
Previous Day High Price

Highest traded price of prior session.

Low
Previous Day Low Price

Lowest traded price of prior session.

Close
Previous Day Close Price

Final settlement closing price.

Practical Worked Example

Calculate intraday pivot levels for Nifty stock with High = Rs 2,540, Low = Rs 2,480, Close = Rs 2,520.

01.Pivot P = (2540 + 2480 + 2520) / 3 = Rs 2,513.33.
02.R1 = (2 × 2513.33) − 2480 = Rs 2,546.67.
03.S1 = (2 × 2513.33) − 2540 = Rs 2,486.67.
04.R2 = 2513.33 + 60 = Rs 2,573.33.
05.S2 = 2513.33 − 60 = Rs 2,453.33.
Pivot: Rs 2,513.33 | R1: Rs 2,546.67 | S1: Rs 2,486.67Pivot levels act as natural psychological magnets and reversal turning zones for intraday traders.
