Enter the previous trading session's High, Low and Close to derive today's Central Pivot Range and the eight surrounding support and resistance levels — laid out as a price ladder, exactly as they'd sit above and below the market.
Values from the prior trading day's candle.

Enter previous session data and calculate to see today's CPR classification.
The CPR zone acts as a dynamic support and resistance area:
Traders use CPR to identify trend direction, breakout opportunities, and high-probability entry zones. CPR simplifies price action into a structured framework for decision-making.
| Component | Formula | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Pivot (P) | (H + L + C) / 3 | Central reference |
| BC (Bottom Central) | (H + L) / 2 | Lower boundary |
| TC (Top Central) | (Pivot − BC) + Pivot | Upper boundary |
TC and BC are close together — the market is compressed and may break directionally. Expect a trending day.
TC and BC are far apart — the market may stay range-bound near the CPR zone. Expect a range-bound day.
Often signals a trending day with potential for breakouts above resistance or below support.
May indicate a balanced or transitional session, with price testing both sides of the range.
Often signals a sideways or range-bound day, with price more likely to stay contained.
This is an educational classification only — combine it with price action, volume and your own risk management. Nothing here is investment advice.
Understand pivot levels and different CPR behaviors that indicate market structure.
Daily levels use the High / Low / Close entered above. Weekly and Monthly need their own OHLC inputs to go live — shown here as placeholders for now.
Different CPR behaviors that indicate market structure.
Informational levels and definitions. Not financial advice.
A short video isn't embedded here, but these four steps cover exactly what one would show.
Type in yesterday's High, Low and Close for the stock or index you're tracking.
R1–R4 stack above the gold Central Pivot Range band; S1–S4 stack below it.
The narrower the gold band relative to Pivot, the more compressed today's expected range.
Use the Narrow / Medium / Wide read as one input alongside volume and price action — not a signal on its own.
