Even those who aren't technical analysis (TA) aficionados have probably heard of some of the "patterns" that TA followers look for in a stock's price charts, including the "cup and handle" and the "head and shoulders." However, there's a need for new patterns in this volatile, 21st century market, and here are the top five new technical indicators we'd like to see:

The Borg futile band of resistance

The cliff dive (Nasdaq stocks only)

The Elliott Wave/E.T. Phone Home Theory
