Tweezer Bottom (and Top)
Also called: tweezer top, tweezers
Two candles that bottom at nearly the same low on consecutive sessions — a short-term bullish reversal as support holds twice.
A tweezer bottom forms when two adjacent candles share almost the same low — typically a down candle followed by an up candle that tests and holds the same level. The matched lows show sellers failed to push lower a second time.
Its mirror, the tweezer top, has two matching highs and warns of a short-term top. Tweezers are stronger at a level that already mattered and when the second candle reverses convincingly.
