- S1/R1 – First support/resistance; most commonly tested levels.
- S2/R2, S3/R3 – Extended levels for stronger moves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard pivots use average of high, low, close. Camarilla pivots place S/R levels closer together, ideal for range-bound markets. Standard suits trending markets; Camarilla suits scalping and mean-reversion.
The pivot point (PP) is the key level. Price above PP = bullish bias, below = bearish. R1/R2 are resistance targets; S1/S2 are support targets. Look for reversals at these levels or breakout trades through them.
Daily pivots (using previous day's data) are most common for intraday trading. Weekly pivots work for swing trading. Professional traders often watch both daily and weekly levels simultaneously.
Pivot points are objective (same for everyone using the same data), easy to calculate, and have been used by floor traders for decades. Their popularity makes them self-fulfilling—price often reacts at these levels.
