The pivot line is marked as the central reference level, while resistance levels appear above it and support levels below it, allowing traders to quickly identify Market Structure.

How the Pivot Indicator Works

The indicator calculates a central pivot point based on previous Price Action. From this level, it derives:

• Resistance levels (R1–R3): Potential price ceilings where selling pressure may occur
• Support levels (S1–S3): Potential price floors where buying pressure may appear

If price trades above the pivot point, the market is considered bullish. If price moves below it, the market is considered bearish.

Trading Strategy Using Pivot Levels

Bullish Setup

When price moves above the pivot point, traders may look for buying opportunities near support levels. Profit targets are often set at higher resistance levels, while a move back below the pivot can act as a stop-loss signal.

Bearish Setup

When price trades below the pivot point, traders may consider sell positions near resistance levels. Profit targets are placed at lower support levels, while a break above the pivot invalidates the setup.

R3 and S3 Reversal Strategy

R3 and S3 levels are often used to identify overbought and oversold conditions.

• Price reaching R3 may signal a potential reversal downward
• Price reaching S3 may signal a potential reversal upward

This strategy allows traders to capture strong pullback movements and potential trend reversals.
