Pivot points are pre-market support and resistance levels derived from the previous session's high, low, and close. Intraday traders — especially on XAUUSD and EURUSD — watch daily pivots because price reacts to them consistently. This free pivot point calculator gives you Classic, Fibonacci, and Camarilla pivots in one place, calibrated for forex and gold intraday trading.

Formula: Classic: PP = (H + L + C) / 3 | R1 = 2·PP − L | S1 = 2·PP − H | R2 = PP + (H − L) | S2 = PP − (H − L) Example: XAUUSD prev H=2050, L=2000, C=2030 → PP=2026.67, R1=2053.33, S1=2003.33.
Pivots act as pre-defined intraday support and resistance. Traders use PP as the daily bias line (price above PP = bullish day, below = bearish), R1/S1 as the first target, and R2/R3 or S2/S3 for extended moves. Great for scalpers and day traders.
Classic pivots are the most widely watched — start there. Fibonacci pivots produce tighter levels for range days. Camarilla pivots are excellent for reversal scalpers because H3/L3 mark high-probability turn zones.
Daily pivots use the previous trading day's H/L/C (00:00–23:59 UTC or your broker's day close). Weekly pivots use the previous week's data and are used by swing traders on the 4H.
Yes — gold respects daily and weekly pivots strongly during the London and New York sessions. The Camarilla H3/L3 levels are especially useful for XAUUSD reversal scalping.
