Types of Pivot Points in the Indicator
The Pivot Points Level Indicator offers four distinct pivot point calculation methods, each serving unique trading purposes:
1. Floor Pivot Points
The most widely used type, ideal for identifying key support and resistance levels.
2. Camarilla Pivot Points
Consists of eight distinct levels, closely linked to intraday support and resistance zones.
3. Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to Floor Pivot Points but places greater emphasis on the closing price.
4. Fibonacci Pivot Points
Combines Floor Pivot Points with Fibonacci retracement levels, applying them to the previous session’s trading range.
Using Pivot Points in an Uptrend (Bullish Scenario)
In a 5-minute GBP/USD chart, when the price remains above the central pivot (PP), it signals a potential uptrend.
Key Observations:
- After retesting the central pivot (PP), the price often moves toward higher resistance levels (R1, R2, R3).
- Support levels (S1, S2, S3) act as optimal zones for placing stop-loss (SL) orders in bullish trades.
Using Pivot Points in a Downtrend (Bearish Scenario)
In a 15-minute Ethereum (ETH) chart, a price below the central pivot (PP) suggests a downtrend.
Key Observations:
- A sharp break below PP often leads to further declines toward lower support levels (S1, S2, S3).
- Resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) serve as ideal stop-loss (SL) zones in bearish trades.
