Alright, listen up! If you’re serious about trading, you better engrain this in your brain—CPR (Central Pivot Range) is NOT optional. It’s one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal, and if you ignore it, you're just gambling, not trading.
Now, what is CPR? It’s a set of three levels—Pivot, Top CPR (TC), and Bottom CPR (BC). This range gives you a roadmap for the day, showing where price is likely to consolidate, break out, or reverse. Institutions watch it. Smart money watches it. And if you’re not watching it, you’re the liquidity they’re hunting.
Here’s the Breakdown:
Wide CPR = Range-bound Day → If CPR is wide, expect choppy, sideways action. Scalping is your best bet. No blind trending trades, got it?
Narrow CPR = Trending Day → If CPR is tight, the market is gearing up for a strong move. You better be ready to catch it.
Price Above CPR = Bullish Bias → The market is in an uptrend. Buy the dips, don’t fight the trend.
Price Below CPR = Bearish Bias → The market is in a downtrend. Short the rallies, keep emotions out.
CPR as Support/Resistance → If price bounces from CPR, it’s a strong signal. If it breaks through, expect momentum in that direction.
Pro Tips (That Most Traders Ignore):
If today's CPR is above yesterday’s, the market is bullish. If it’s below, bearish. Simple.
A price rejection from CPR is a golden entry. Stop hunting happens around these levels—be the predator, not the prey.
CPR works best with Volume and Price Action. If you rely only on indicators, you’ll get slaughtered.
This is just the surface. If you don’t respect CPR, the market will teach you the hard way. Understand it, or keep donating money to smarter traders. Your choice.
