5 Technology And Communication Services Stocks With Heightened Activity On Stocktwits Thursday

The broader market ended slightly lower on Thursday, unable to sustain its recovery from Wednesday's slump triggered by the Federal Reserve's December rate-setting meeting. Defensive sectors such as real estate, healthcare, consumer staples, and material and energy stocks served as drags. 

On a positive note, the Dow Industrials snapped a 10-session losing streak thanks to stock-specific strength.
