SUGAR Pivot Points Calculator

Daily pivot points turn yesterday's open, high, low and close into today's reference levels for support and resistance — a level many SUGAR traders already watch, not a signal on its own.

How do I calculate pivot points for SUGAR?

Here's a worked example (these figures will differ from whatever this page's own fields currently show, since those update as new price data comes in — the calculation method is what matters): open 18.64, high 21.34, low 17.94, close 20.09.

With SUGAR closing at 20.09, that's above the pivot point of 19.79 — a simple, widely-used read on whether sentiment is leaning bullish or bearish for the session.

What are R1/R2 and S1/S2?

R1 and R2 are resistance levels progressively further above the pivot; S1 and S2 are support levels the same distance below it, using the full prior-period range (high minus low, 3.40 points in this example).

Many traders watch price reaction at R1/S1 specifically: a clean break through tends to be read as momentum continuing toward R2/S2, while a rejection back toward the pivot is read as the level holding.

How often should pivot points be recalculated?

At the start of each new trading period — daily for daily pivots, weekly for weekly pivots — using that prior period's own high, low and close. They stay fixed for the entire session rather than moving tick by tick the way a live indicator would.

Conclusion

These levels are a reference derived from the prior period's range, not a forecast — confirm your own platform's actual prior-period OHLC for SUGAR if you're trading these levels for real, since this page's worked example is illustrative, not a live feed.
