A tweezer bottom is two consecutive candles with matching or nearly matching lows after a decline, usually a red candle then a green one. The same low being defended twice suggests support.
How to identify it
- A prior decline.
- Two candles with almost identical lows.
- Usually a red candle followed by a green one.
Where it matters: Appears after a decline, near a low.
What it means
Sellers failed to break the same low twice in a row.
What confirms it
A close above the high of the two candles.
What invalidates it
A close below the shared low.
Common mistakes
- Ignoring tweezer lows that occur in a choppy range, where they are common.
