Support & Resistance Calculator
Enter the prior session’s High, Low and Close to get the pivot and S/R bands—plus a tidy price-ladder visual.
Inputs
- Classic (floor) pivot point from H/L/C.
- Derives S1–S3 and R1–R3 for planning.
- Quick Copy of levels.
- Update levels daily; combine with trend/volume.
- Stops just beyond the level you lean on.
- Backtest bounces, breaks and retests.
Results & visuals
Levels are educational, not predictive. Blend with trend, volume and news. See also Risk–Reward and Win-rate & R:R.
How to use this calculator effectively
Classic pivots turn prior session H/L/C into objective support/resistance bands for the next session.
- Daily pivots: intraday trading.
- Weekly/Monthly: swing bias.
- Align longer TF trend, execute on a faster TF.
- Watch Volume-by-Price or high-volume price zones.
- Look for closes/strong reactions at P, R1/S1.
- Prefer confluence (trendline, MA, round number).
- Trend on higher TF agrees with your bias
- Level has volume/structure confluence
- Stop placed beyond level (or ≥ 1×ATR)
- R:R meets plan (e.g., ≥ 1:2)
Support & Resistance — quick guide
Support is a floor where buyers step in. Resistance is a ceiling where sellers show up. Use them to time bounces, retests, and breakouts.
- Plan entries/exits near objective levels
- Cleaner stops & position sizing
- Quick context for intraday swings
- P = (H + L + C) / 3
- R1 = 2P − L · R2 = P + (H − L)
- S1 = 2P − H · S2 = P − (H − L)
Excel quick-start
| Pivot (P) | (H + L + C) / 3 |
|---|---|
| R1 | (2 * P) - L |
| R2 | P + (H - L) |
| S1 | (2 * P) - H |
| S2 | P - (H - L) |

How to use the Support and Resistance calculator
Find important price zones where reversals or breakouts are more likely, so you can plan entries, stop-loss placement, and targets with more structure. Before calculating, enter accurate inputs: Use recent market high, low, and close values from the same timeframe you trade, because levels change by timeframe.
After you get the output, interpret it like this: Compare current price with pivot, support, and resistance levels to decide whether price is likely reacting, breaking out, or retesting. Practical tip: Treat levels as zones, not exact single prices, and always confirm with trend and volume context.This calculator is for planning and scenario analysis, so use it with your broader risk management, position sizing, and market context before taking a real trade or investment decision.
