What the tweezer bottom is

Two candles hit the same low. That floor held twice.

Picture a pair of tweezers, with two tips meeting at the very same point. A tweezer bottom is two candles whose lowest points land at almost exactly the same price. Price tested the floor twice, and the floor held both times.
