Pivots
Camarilla pivots are support and resistance levels that cluster more tightly around the prior close than classic pivots, using fixed multipliers of the prior range. Traders use them as an alternate, closer-in reaction map for intraday setups.
Camarilla pivots are an alternative pivot family that derives several support and resistance levels by applying fixed multipliers to the previous session's range and anchoring them around the prior close. The result is a set of levels that tend to sit closer to the close than classic floor pivots.
Because they cluster nearer to price, Camarilla levels can give a tighter reaction map, which some intraday traders prefer for spotting closer-in support and resistance on metals contracts.
The Camarilla overlay is best added only when a tighter map actually improves the read rather than crowding the chart with too many lines. Like other pivot families, it produces reference zones, not trade instructions, and is read with confluence and current price behavior in mind.
