스토캐스틱 (seutokaesutik)

Where today's close sits within the recent high–low range, from 0 (at the low) to 100 (at the high).

The stochastic oscillator, popularised by George Lane, compares the close with the highest high and lowest low of the last 14 days. The slow version shown on JONBUR (14, 3, 3) smooths this into %K and a 3-day average of %K called %D.

Above 80 is often called the high zone and below 20 the low zone; %K crossing %D is read as a short-term change in momentum.
