Tweezer Bottom

Two candles reach almost the same low after a decline, but the market refuses to continue downward. This shape is called a Tweezer Bottom. The first candle usually reflects selling, while the second shows that buyers defended a similar price area. The matching lows create the “tweezer” appearance. Traders view it as a possible bullish reversal, especially when it forms near established support. The candles do not need to be identical in body size or colour. What matters most is the shared low and the surrounding downtrend. A later rise can strengthen the interpretation, while a break below both lows weakens it.

Tweezer Top

A Tweezer Top is the opposite of a Tweezer Bottom. It appears after a rise when two neighbouring candles reach nearly the same high and then fail to move further upward. The repeated high suggests that sellers entered around the same level twice. This can warn that buying momentum is fading. The first candle may be strongly positive and the second weaker or negative, but their upper extremes are the central feature. Traders often look for confirmation from a later decline or nearby resistance. The formation identifies a possible turning point; it does not mean every pair of matching highs will begin a downtrend.

Two-way price

A two-way price contains two numbers: the bid and the offer. The bid is the price at which the quoting dealer is willing to buy, while the offer is the price at which the dealer is willing to sell. EUR/USD quoted at 1.1000/1.1002 has a bid of 1.1000 and an offer of 1.1002. The difference between them is the spread. A customer selling the base currency deals at the bid, while a customer buying it deals at the offer. Showing both sides makes the cost and current buying and selling interest visible.

Two-Way Quote

A dealer gives a two-way quote by stating both the price at which they will buy and the price at which they will sell. The two numbers form the two-way price, while the quote is the act of presenting them to another market participant. In GBP/USD at 1.2750/1.2753, the dealer bids 1.2750 and offers 1.2753. The customer can immediately see both sides and the three-point spread between them. A one-way indication may show only buying or selling interest. A genuine two-way quote shows that the dealer is prepared to deal in either direction, subject to the stated size and market conditions.

TYO10

TYO10 is a market-data symbol used for the Cboe 10-Year Treasury Yield Index. The index represents the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rather than the price of the note itself. A reading may be displayed at ten times the percentage yield on some systems, so 45 can represent approximately 4.5%. The exact display convention should be checked with the data provider. TYO10 is not the universal symbol for the 10-year yield. Other platforms may use US10Y, TNX, or their own code. This is why the symbol’s description matters more than guessing from its letters.
