Camarilla Pivot Points is a more recent development, it's similar to standard pivot points but with an additional set of support and resistance levels (S3, S4, R3, R4) this method provides a greater number of potential levels of support and resistance. The calculation is based on the previous day's high, low, and close prices, and it uses a different formula than the standard pivot points.
Here's an example of how to calculate Camarilla Pivot Points:
Example:
Yesterday's high = $100
Yesterday's low = $90
Yesterday's close = $95
Pivot point (P) = (H + L + C) / 3
Pivot point (P) = (100 + 90 + 95) / 3 = $95
First level of resistance (R1) = P + (H-L) * 1.1/12
R1 = 95 + (100-90) * 1.1/12 = $96.50
Second level of resistance (R2) = P + (H-L) * 1.1/6
R2 = 95 + (100-90) * 1.1/6 = $97
Third level of resistance (R3) = P + (H-L) * 1.1/4
R3 = 95 + (100-90) * 1.1/4 = $97.75
Fourth level of resistance (R4) = P + (H-L) * 1.1/2
R4 = 95 + (100-90) * 1.1/2 = $98.50
A graphical representation of the pivot points would look
First level of support (S1) = P - (H-L) * 1.1/12
S1 = 95 - (100-90) * 1.1/12 = $93.50
Second level of support (S2) = P - (H-L) * 1.1/6
S2 = 95 - (100-90) * 1.1/6 = $93
Third level of support (S3) = P - (H-L) * 1.1/4
S3 = 95 - (100-90) * 1.1/4 = $92.25
Fourth level of support (S4) = P - (H-L) * 1.1/2
S4 = 95 - (100-90) * 1.1/2 = $91.50
