While standard floor pivots are widely used, two specialized variations offer unique edges: Fibonacci pivots (which combine mathematical ratios with range expansion) and Camarilla pivots (designed specifically for intraday mean-reversion and breakout execution).

Fibonacci Pivot Points

Fibonacci pivots calculate the central pivot identical to standard pivots, but derive R1/R2/R3 and S1/S2/S3 by multiplying the prior day's range by 0.382, 0.618, and 1.000.

Camarilla Pivot Points

Camarilla pivots produce 8 distinct levels. The key levels are H3/L3 (which act as strong mean-reversion reversal boundaries) and H4/L4 (which serve as breakout acceleration triggers).

Key Takeaways
Fibonacci pivots align pivot boundaries with Fibonacci retracement analysis.
Camarilla pivots provide precise intraday reversal (H3/L3) and breakout (H4/L4) targets.
Choose one calculation method and use it consistently across your asset watchlist.
KEY TERMS
Fibonacci Pivots
Pivot calculations applying golden ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, 100%) to the previous session range.
Camarilla Pivots
An 8-level pivot system centered around the previous close, engineered for intraday mean-reversion and breakout trading.
