Oscillators are technical indicators that are used to analyze the market situation, especially when the market is not showing any definite trend. They help to determine the extremes of market prices and short-term overbought and oversold market conditions.
Volumes confirm the strength of a trend or indicate its weakness for any specific period of time.
