Tweezer Top

A Tweezer Top is a two-candle bearish reversal pattern that forms at the top of an uptrend, where two consecutive sessions print almost identical highs — creating the appearance of two tweezers at the same level. The first candle is typically bullish (green), reflecting continuation of the uptrend; the second candle is bearish (red) and reaches the same high as the first but fails to push higher, closing lower. The identical highs signal that buyers attempted to break through a resistance level on two consecutive days and failed both times, indicating strong supply at that price. Tweezer Tops are more meaningful when the matched highs coincide with a known resistance level, round number, or prior swing high, and when confirmed by follow-through selling on the next session.
