to the pivot point (PP) line. As you will understand from the calculation

below, the pivot point line is considered the intraday axis of movement of

the previous day’s trading, which in that respect makes it also considered

a “fair price,” like the VWAP.

This means that when the stock opens below the pivot point, buyers

up to the stage when the price reaches the pivot point, which currently

serves as resistance.
The price then drops and is supported at S1 [1]. Buyers return to the

scene, and the price trends up but encounters resistance at the pivot [2].
It succeeds in breaking through the pivot and returns down, supported by
the pivot which now serves as support [3]. The price continues up to the
next line of resistance at R1, stays there a while as expected [4], and then
continues trending up to the next resistance point R2 [5].
