A tweezer bottom is two consecutive candles that print the same (or nearly the same) low. The first candle drops, hits its low, gets bought. The next candle tries to push lower, fails at the same floor, and recovers. Two attempts, both rejected — buyers held the line.
The market tested a price floor and failed twice in immediate succession. That's not random — it's a level where buyers consistently outnumber sellers, freshly confirmed. The pattern captures the moment that confirmation becomes visible.
Where the tweezer forms matters more than the shape itself. A tweezer at a previous swing low, round number, key moving average, or prior consolidation low has a real story behind it. The same shape inside random chop has nothing.
The third candle is the trigger. If it opens above candle 2's close and continues up, the reversal has follow-through. If it opens back through the level and breaks down, the support failed and the downtrend continues.
Thesis fires the tweezer-bottom detector on every 1-hour close. Because tweezers are heavily location-dependent, the AI reasoning layer's awareness of support/resistance levels matters more here than for self-contained patterns like hammer or engulfing. Trend, RSI, news, and regime all factor into the decision.
Pattern detection alone produces too many false positives for tweezers. The layered confirmation is where the edge comes from. See how the AI layer works.
