Type:  Reversal
Direction: Bullish
Prior Trend: Bearish
Reliability: Low

Tweezers Bottom consists of two or more candlesticks with the same lows. That means the lowest price of the candlesticks is same. This is a weak bullish reversal pattern.

How to identify Tweezers Bottom Pattern:

1)     The price is in a long down trend.

2)     In the down trend a bullish candlestick forms.

3)     The low of the bullish candlestick matches the low of the previous bearish candlestick.

This pattern creates support levels sharing the same low prices. Support levels are simply price ranges that the market has trouble to break. If the tweezers bottom appears at the extreme level of a market in a downtrend that could signal a price reversal.

Note: This is a weak pattern. Sometimes the tweezers bottom might result in a temporary price retracement. So always use some other indicators or chart formations to confirm the price reversal.

The following is the EURCAD four hour chart. If you observe the chart you can see that the trend was down and tweezers bottom was formed and the trend was reversed.
