What the tweezer top is
Two candles hit the same high. That ceiling held twice.
Imagine jumping twice and bumping your head on the same spot of the ceiling both times. A tweezer top is two candles whose highest points land at almost exactly the same price. Buyers hit a ceiling twice, and it held both times.
