The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is one of the most versatile price-based indicators available to traders. This versatility makes this indicator a mainstay in my trading arsenal.
Some authors have called the pivot range the “meat of the market”, while others refer to the central pivot point as the “heartbeat of the indicator”. In my opinion, the central pivot range is the Swiss Army Knife of pivots. At any given time, the range can be support or resistance, it can forecast trending or sideways price behavior, dictate the day’s direction, or serve as an integral part of a trend.
