What is the tweezer bottom pattern?
The tweezer bottom is a bullish candlestick pattern. Two or more candles bouncing from almost exactly the same low.
How does the tweezer bottom form?
Two or more neighbouring bars reach almost exactly the same low and bounce from it.
How do you confirm a tweezer bottom?
A level defended twice in a row is worth marking. The strength of the bounce matters less than the precision of the match.
When does the tweezer bottom fail?
In a fast decline a shared low is often just where a single order sat. Once it is filled the level means nothing.
No chart pattern works every time. The examples on this page were chosen because they show the pattern clearly, and in real markets patterns fail often.
