Tweezer Bottom
Two adjacent candles whose lows are at almost the same price, the first falling and the second rising.
The mirror of the tweezer top: a floor found twice in two periods. On this site's hourly data it is among the better-performing candlestick patterns relative to its baseline, which is not the same as saying it is a good reason to trade — read the figure, its baseline and its sample size together.
What a tweezer bottom has actually done
Every occurrence we hold, scored on whether price moved more than 0.5% in the pattern’s own direction within three candles.
| Timeframe | Occurrences | Reached target | Baseline | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1H · crypto | 44,134 | 34.6% | 22.1% | +12.4pp |
| 1D · crypto | 16,750 | 30.8% | 35.6% | -4.8pp |
| 4H · crypto | 10,570 | 40.1% | 33.4% | +6.7pp |
Baseline is the share of ordinary candles that passed the same test over the same period, same timeframe and same direction. A rate at or below it means the shape added nothing. Edge is the difference between the two. This is a record of what followed, not a forecast.
