Camarilla pivots

What does Camarilla pivots measure?

A set of intraday support and resistance lines built from yesterday's candle. The inner lines are the ones traders fade; the outer ones are where they expect a breakout.

How is Camarilla pivots calculated?

Take yesterday's high-to-low range and yesterday's close. Step out from that close by fixed fractions of the range to get the four resistance levels above (r1-r4) and the four support levels below (s1-s4); `pp` is yesterday's high, low and close averaged. Every level uses only the PREVIOUS candle, so it is known before today opens.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.
