The close on Wednesday left behind a bearish candlestick for Thursday. However MACD confirmed an up signal today for the S&P. The Slow Stochastic is also pointing higher for today.

With poor volume on Wednesday and growing geopolitical issues, Thursday looks set to be a choppy and lower day for stocks.
