This is a complicated issue that typically depends on a traders time-frame and style.

Typical areas of support and resistance are recent lows and recent highs.

"Measured" areas of support would involve moving averages, bollinger bands, envelope channels, H-L channels, and linear regression channels.

Also fibonacci levels.

I use these 3 factors to visually determine s&r. Not sure how to "calculate" it.

1. Obvious price congestion
2&3. Momentum and/or volume spikes
