Definition: A tweezer bottom structure is comprised of two Japanese candlesticks. The first is a large bearish candlestick (red) followed by a hammer doji. The second candlestick opens in a bullish gap and closes at the opening price of the first candlestick.

Characteristic: A tweezer bottom structure often forms after a significant drop characterized by several large red Japanese candlesticks.
Significance: A tweezer bottom is a reversal pattern, it indicates a reversal in the bullish trend. This reflects a battle zone between buyers and sellers before the sellers surrender.
Note: A third candlestick can enter the pattern and it must be bullish, with a small body and be within the range of the second candlestick.
Invalidation: If the next candlestick is not bullish or does not open onto a bullish gap, the tweezer bottom structure is invalidated.
