Support and Resistance areas are levels at which price is expected to be supported or resisted based on historical movement. Keyword here is "expected". A Pivot Point is just a calculation based off of price movement (e.g. Open, High, Low, Close) to determine a possible S/R area.

 

Daily Pivot Points can be calculated by most charting software. For an online calculator check out MyPivots Calculator.

 

Also, for simple definitions Investopedia is a good place to look.

SR levels can be determined by many diffferent methods. Pivots are just that, price points where the mkt makes reversals formimg a "pivot", but for different time periods; shorter or longer time periods for example will show different pivots. Pivots have varying degrees of strength based on how long they held or have held before being violated.
