Central Pivot Range (CPR)

Central Pivot Range derives a pivot, bottom-central and top-central reference from prior-period high, low and close.

Plain-language meaning

Central Pivot Range derives a pivot, bottom-central and top-central reference from prior-period high, low and close.

Why it is useful

Central Pivot Range (CPR) is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.

Where it appears in XMarketRadar

Look for Central Pivot Range (CPR) in Advanced Chart settings, indicator panels, screeners and technical research for the selected listing and bar interval.

How it is calculated or sourced

Calculate pivot P=(H+L+C)/3, bottom central BC=(H+L)/2 and top central TC=2P−BC from the prior completed period, then order BC and TC for display if necessary.

Inputs, period and unit

Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.

Worked example

Illustrative only: With prior high ₹110, low ₹100 and close ₹106, P is ₹105.33, BC is ₹105 and TC is ₹105.67 after ordering the two central boundaries.

What high and low mean

A higher or lower Central Pivot Range (CPR) value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.

Positive, negative and genuine zero

Positive and negative Central Pivot Range (CPR) values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.

When it is unavailable

Unavailable (—) means Central Pivot Range (CPR) is absent, unsupported, stale under the screen's rules or not computable from verified inputs. It must never be converted to zero or a neutral signal.

Limitations and common mistakes

Central Pivot Range (CPR) may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.

Market-specific differences

The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
