What is Pivot Point?
A pivot point is a calculated reference level derived from prior-period price data, typically accompanied by support and resistance levels.
Pivot Point matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss session and level mapping. Reference levels give traders a consistent way to compare current price action with prior highs, lows, opens and calculated pivots.
How to read Pivot Point
Read Pivot Point as a reference boundary for the defined session or lookback period. The first question is always which market hours and timezone the chart uses.
What Pivot Point does not tell you
The term should be read as descriptive chart language rather than as a self-contained forecast. Parameter choices, timeframe and data quality can materially change the result.
Use in bonds, rates and macro markets
Their usefulness depends on a clearly defined trading session, which matters when applying them to globally traded rates products.
Technical chart structures are context, not certainty. BondStats does not present a candlestick, drawing tool, indicator reading or chart pattern as a standalone investment recommendation. Where a concept depends on discretionary anchors or parameter choices, those choices should be made explicit.
