This article is about the Tweezers trade pattern. This candlestick pattern is used to signal a correction or reversal in the current trade.

How to make Tweezers

This candlestick pattern can be referred to as a reversal. This pattern can be seen on the charts of many financial instruments, including currency pairs, stocks and futures. This pattern is made up of two candlesticks with the same highs or lows.

If Tweezers is a reversal, they will either appear at top in an uptrend or bottom in a downtrend. This pattern is based upon a traditional tech analysis principle. If the price does not reach the support/resistance level two times, it becomes highly probable that a correction or a reversal will occur.

Tweezers is a tool that allows you to see the extremes of both candlesticks. It is permissible to make a slight difference in the time frame, but it is not important.
