Pivot points & CPR calculator
Turn yesterday’s high, low and close into today’s pivot, support and resistance levels, and read the width of the Central Pivot Range as a prior on whether the day trends or ranges.

How to use this calculator
Each step names a control you will find on screen above.
- Previous high, low and close
The three numbers the whole formula needs. Use the previous session’s figures for the instrument you intend to trade today.
- Method
Standard derives the levels from the day’s range; Fibonacci spaces them by 38.2%, 61.8% and 100% of it. Both share the same central pivot.
- Read the pivot first
The pivot (P) is the day’s fulcrum. Price holding above it leans bullish, below it bearish. R1–R3 and S1–S3 are where reactions are likely.
- Check the CPR width
A narrow Central Pivot Range signals a coiled market and a higher chance of a trending day; a wide CPR points to a rangebound one.
Worked example: Reading a session from the levels
Enter a previous high of ₹24,380, low of ₹24,120 and close of ₹24,310, on the Standard method.
What to enter
- Previous high
- ₹24,380
- Previous low
- ₹24,120
- Previous close
- ₹24,310
What it shows you
- Pivot (P)
- ₹24,270
- R1 / S1
- ₹24,420 / ₹24,160
- CPR width
- Narrow (~0.16%)
- Prior for the day
- Trending day more likely
- Bias while above pivot
- Long towards R1, then R2
