📈 Understanding the Levels
Daily Pivot Points
Calculation Formula:
Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3 R1 = 2 × Pivot - Low S1 = 2 × Pivot - High R2 = Pivot + (High - Low) S2 = Pivot - (High - Low) R3 = High + 2 × (Pivot - Low) S3 = Low - 2 × (High - Pivot)
Usage:
- Pivot Line: Central reference point
- R1, R2, R3: Resistance levels (sell zones)
- S1, S2, S3: Support levels (buy zones)
Weekly Pivot Points
Similar to daily pivots but based on weekly OHLC data:
- More significant levels
- Hold for longer periods
- Ideal for swing trading
Fibonacci Levels
Based on the previous day's high-low range:
- 23.6% - Minor retracement
- 38.2% - Shallow retracement
- 50.0% - Middle retracement
- 61.8% - Deep retracement (Golden Ratio)
- 78.6% - Very deep retracement
Round Numbers
Psychological levels at multiples of 10:
- Example: 2650, 2660, 2670, etc.
- Often act as support/resistance
- Important for market psychology
