An oscillator is a type of technical indicator that measures (usually) the velocity of shorter-term price action. Oscillators are typically used to identify overbought and oversold markets. Well-known oscillators include the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastics. See also Momentum and Rate of Change.
