Pivot Points + CPR Mastery
Narrow CPR, Tomorrow CPR & Playbook
Pivot Points and CPR (Central Pivot Range) are professional trading levels used by intraday traders, institutions, and derivatives desks. This module teaches you how to identify breakout days, range days, and how to trade pivot support/resistance with confirmation.
Module Outcomes
Module 13 Lesson Map
CPR and Pivot Points create an intraday roadmap. This module makes you read the market like a pro desk.
CPR Simulation (Pivot + TC + BC)
CPR is made of 3 key lines: Pivot (P), Top Central (TC), and Bottom Central (BC).
CPR Scenarios
📌 BC = bottom boundary
📌 Pivot = middle equilibrium
Narrow CPR vs Wide CPR (Day Type Forecast)
CPR width indicates expected volatility. Narrow CPR often leads to breakout days.
CPR Width Scenarios
📌 Wide CPR = consolidation probability high
Tomorrow CPR Shift Simulation (Forecasting Bias)
Tomorrow CPR uses today's OHLC to calculate next day's CPR. Shift indicates bullish/bearish bias.
Tomorrow CPR Shift
📌 Shift down = supply dominance
📌 Flat = sideways probability
Pivot Support/Resistance Reaction Simulation
Pivot levels act like professional intraday support/resistance zones.
Pivot Scenarios
📌 Avoid blind entries without structure break
Lesson 1: Pivot Points Explained
Pivot Points are calculated levels based on previous day OHLC.
Pivot Points are widely used by professional intraday traders to map potential support and resistance levels before the market opens.
Core Pivot Levels
- Pivot (P) = main equilibrium level
- R1 / R2 / R3 = resistance levels
- S1 / S2 / S3 = support levels
Lesson 2: CPR Concept (Central Pivot Range)
CPR is the most important zone around the pivot that defines market balance.
CPR Components
- Pivot (P) = center equilibrium
- TC (Top Central) = top boundary
- BC (Bottom Central) = bottom boundary
Why CPR Matters
- CPR shows where market is balanced
- Breakout above CPR = bullish strength
- Breakdown below CPR = bearish strength
Lesson 3: Narrow CPR Meaning (Breakout Day)
Narrow CPR indicates compression and high breakout probability.
Narrow CPR Characteristics
- CPR width is very small
- Market is compressed and ready for expansion
- Breakout probability increases
- Best suited for trend trades
Lesson 4: Wide CPR Meaning (Range Day)
Wide CPR indicates high balance zone and sideways market probability.
Wide CPR Characteristics
- CPR width is large
- Market is balanced and sideways probability increases
- Breakouts fail often
- Mean reversion setups work better
Lesson 5: CPR + VWAP Combination
CPR gives structure. VWAP gives institutional fair value bias.
CPR + VWAP Workflow
- If VWAP is above CPR → bullish bias day
- If VWAP is below CPR → bearish bias day
- VWAP rejection near CPR boundary = trap zone
- VWAP hold beyond CPR = trend continuation
Lesson 6: Pivot Support/Resistance Strategy
Pivot levels act as professional intraday support and resistance.
Pivot Trading Strategy
- Buy near support (S1/S2) with rejection confirmation
- Sell near resistance (R1/R2) with rejection confirmation
- Breakout above R1 with volume = strong bullish continuation
- Breakdown below S1 with volume = bearish continuation
Lesson 7: Tomorrow CPR Concept
Tomorrow CPR helps forecast the next trading day's volatility and bias.
Tomorrow CPR Forecasting
- Tomorrow CPR is calculated using today's OHLC
- Shift up = bullish bias
- Shift down = bearish bias
- Narrow tomorrow CPR = breakout potential tomorrow
- Wide tomorrow CPR = range day probability tomorrow
Lesson 8: ArthVed 9X CPR Playbook
A professional structured checklist for CPR trading (educational version).
CPR Playbook Checklist
- Identify CPR width (Narrow / Wide / Normal)
- Mark Pivot, TC, BC and nearest R1/S1
- Check opening location (inside CPR or outside CPR)
- Wait for confirmation candle close beyond CPR
- Use VWAP as bias filter (above = bullish / below = bearish)
- Avoid trades inside wide CPR chop zone
- Confirm breakout with volume or strong momentum candle
