Tweezer tops and bottoms
You will learn to
- Matching highs and lows
- Why they work best combined with another pattern
The shape
Two or more candles with matching lows (tweezer bottom) or matching highs (tweezer top). Price tested the same level twice and was rejected both times — a double bottom in miniature.
Using them
On their own, minor. They become interesting when the candles also form another pattern — a hammer with a matching low, a harami at matching highs — or when the matching level is a higher-timeframe support. Remember liquidity: equal lows are also where stops collect, so a sweep through them is common before any reversal.
