scalpers like these levels; however, trading this way is a hit-or-miss game, because the moment price hits L3 or H3 Camarilla pivot, it is not known yet whether there will be a stop
and reverse or not. Therefore, one could opt to wait a little bit longer, till signs of price reversal emerge: these are “shooting star” patterns, “hammer” candles and also reversal
patterns where market starts to close higher with every new bar upon hitting support (L3) or lower with each new bar upon hitting resistance (H3).
