Z-score oscillator measures how far a data point is from the mean, displaying whether it's above or below the average.

It helps you assess whether a stock's price is unusually high or low compared to its historical average.
If the z-score is positive, the stock may be overvalued, and if it's negative, it may be undervalued.
