Tweezer tops and bottoms: does anyone trade them?
Tweezer patterns — two candles with matching highs or lows — mark equal tests of a level. They're subtle, common and rarely discussed, which is exactly why some traders specialise.

Background: How to read candlestick charts
Candlesticks pack four prices into one shape. How to read the body and wicks, what timeframes mean and why single patterns are weaker than they look.
What do the wicks on a candlestick mean?
The wicks show the highest and lowest prices reached during the period. A long wick shows that the price moved there but was pushed back before the candle closed.
Are candlestick patterns reliable?
Not on their own. They are more meaningful at important price levels and on higher timeframes, and they should be combined with a clear plan for risk.
