Quick rules for Tweezer Top & Bottom on XAUUSD
- In a downtrend a matching XAUUSD low pair below supports a floor; matching highs under a rally add weight to a ceiling.
- Reaction count more than paint on gold - a tweezer that only nudges is weaker than one that claws back buyers.
- Confluence with a level that has flipped price before is what separates a real gold base from a coincidence.
