The term "pivots" is very, very general.
It's like the word "car."
A "pivot point" just means a significant price-level or price-range on a chart.

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of ways to calculate pivots, and everyone has his favorites.

Personally, I like fractals, Fib levels (spiral more than step), and POCs (point of control).
