How it works 

This indicator calculates a set of quarterly pivot levels derived from the previous quarter’s high, low, and close. The levels include:

• Core Pivot levels: Central Pivot (PP), Top Pivot (TP), and Bottom Pivot (BP), which combined form the Central Pivot Range (CPR)
• Resistance levels: R25, R50, R75, R100, as the previous quarter’s range bullish extensions
• Support levels: S25, S50, S75, S100, as the previous quarter’s range bearish extensions

These levels act as critical decision-making zones for position traders, highlighting areas where market participants are likely to react.
