The same price, twice.

Two boards, one shared number

A tweezer bottom is two adjacent sessions with approximately the same low. A tweezer top is two with approximately the same high. That is the entire definition, and it is the shortest one in this chapter.

Notice what it does not mention. Not the bodies, not their sizes, not their colours, not which way either session closed. Every other pattern in chapter 04.03 is a statement about bodies; this one is a statement about one price appearing twice.

The word approximately is doing real work, and it is the same kind of work as the 50% line in 04.03.06. Granthara's rules engine treats two extremes as the same price when they are within a small fraction of the range. A different book draws that line somewhere else.

Why it blends into a hammer

The blend comes out as a hammer shape, and the reason is worth saying slowly because it explains what a tweezer actually is.

The blended low is ₹29 — because both sessions reached it. The blended close is ₹30.30, well above it. So the pair, taken as one period, went down to ₹29 and did not finish there, which is the definition of a long lower shadow.

A tweezer is therefore not a separate phenomenon from the rejection shape of 04.02.02. It is a rejection that took two sessions to write, in the same way a morning star was one that took three.

What is genuinely new is not the shape. It is the reason the shadow is long: the same price stopped the fall on two separate days.

A tweezer is a level tested twice, seen at two-candle scale. The shape is one you already know; the repetition is the new part.

Your first sight of a level

Everything in Part 04 so far has been about shapes — how bodies and shadows sit relative to one another inside or across sessions. A tweezer is the first thing in the Part that is really about a price.

₹29 is not a shape. It is a number that two different sessions arrived at and neither passed. That observation belongs to a different subject, and it has one: Part 06 is support and resistance, where a price that repeatedly stops a move is the whole topic, and Part 05 is the structure those prices sit inside.

Which is the honest way to hold this pattern. A tweezer is a two-candle glimpse of something much larger, and at two-candle scale it is very weak evidence indeed — two touches is the smallest number that can be called repeated. Granthara names the shape and sends the idea on to the Parts equipped for it.

That completes the reversal patterns: containment forwards and backwards, a threshold somebody chose, three boards that blend into one, and a price that turned up twice. The next chapter takes the same blend and points it at runs of candles that carry on rather than turn.
