The psychology behind it

Buyers tried the same high twice and failed. Resistance is real.

Like every candlestick pattern, the Tweezer Top is a probabilistic signal — not a guarantee. The strongest setups appear at clear support / resistance levels, with a directional bias from higher timeframes, and ideally with volume confirmation. Always combine candlestick reads with structure and trend context.
