<p id="isPasted">An oscillator is a technical analysis tool that constructs high and low bands between two extreme values, and then builds a trend indicator that fluctuates within these bounds.

As the oscillator values approach these bands, they provide overbought or overbought signals to traders. Oscillators are often combined with moving mean indicators to indicate breaks or reversals in trend.</p>

<p>When you're trying to figure out which FOREX currency pair is most likely going to make a strong movement, look for an oscillator that confirms the direction that the price is heading in. This is an indicator that lets the trader know the currency pair has the momentum to make a large price movement. You can use a variety of oscillators to confirm a trend. Momentum oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic Oscillator, and Stochastic are all good indicators to confirm the strong momentum in a price movement.</p>
