What is the Central Pivot Range (CPR)?

The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a technical indicator that helps traders identify key price levels for a stock’s daily movement. Calculated using the previous day’s high, low, and closing prices, it forms three distinct lines that serve as a central reference point. Investors use the CPR to gauge prevailing market sentiment. When a stock consistently trades above the CPR, the trend is generally considered bullish. Conversely, trading below this range indicates a bearish trend.

Furthermore, the width of the CPR offers valuable insight into potential market volatility. A narrow CPR often points toward a strong, trending day with significant price movement, whereas a wide CPR typically suggests a range-bound market where prices will remain relatively stable.
