Tweezer Top Pattern

The Tweezer Top is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that typically appears at the end of an uptrend. This pattern consists of two or more candlesticks that have matching or very similar highs, indicating a potential resistance level and a reversal in market sentiment from bullish to bearish.

Characteristics of the Tweezer Top Pattern:

1. Formation: The pattern consists of two or more candlesticks:

   • First Candle: A bullish (green or white) candlestick that indicates continued buying pressure and closes higher.
   • Second Candle: A bearish (red or black) candlestick that opens higher than the first candle and closes below the first candle’s body, showing a reversal in sentiment. Ideally, the highs of both candles should be at or very close to the same level.

2. Location: The Tweezer Top pattern typically occurs after a significant uptrend, signaling that the upward momentum may be weakening and that sellers could be gaining control.

3. Signal: This pattern suggests that the market is finding resistance at a certain price level. The matching highs indicate that sellers are stepping in, and the subsequent bearish candle confirms a potential reversal.
