2-candle pattern · Bullish reversal
A tweezer bottom is two consecutive candles (their colors can vary) whose lows land at almost exactly the same price, appearing after a downtrend. The matching lows show that a specific price level has now rejected further selling twice in a row.
The pattern is essentially a very short-term support test: the market tried the same level twice and failed to break it both times. It tends to be more convincing when the second candle is bullish and closes well off its low, and less convincing in a fast, high-volatility market where matching lows can simply be coincidence.
