The difference between the left cup price (highest intraday high which establishes the start of the cup) and the base low price (lowest intraday low in the cup), expressed as a percentage of the left cup price.

Pivot % Off Left Cup

The difference between the left cup (the beginning date of the cup with handle base) and the pivot point (also B/O Price), expressed as a percentage of the left cup price.
