Formula for Pivot Point Calculation

Pivot point (P) = (H + L + C) / 3
Resistance1 (R1) = (P x 2) - L
Support1 (S1) = (P x 2) - H
Where, H - Highest Price of Previous Day, L - Lowest Price of Previous Day, C - Closing Price of Previous Day

Resistance Level 2 (R2) = (Pivot Point - Support Level 1) + Resistance Level 1
Support Level 2 (S2)= Pivot Point - (Resistance Level 1 - Support Level 1)
Resistance Level 3 (R3)= (Pivot Point - Support Level 2) + Resistance Level 2
Support Level 3 (S3)= Pivot Point - (Resistance Level 2 - Support Level 2)
