Stocks to Watch Today (October 6, 2025): Indian equities traded range-bound on Friday but managed to close in the green. On the technical front, the Nifty tested resistance at 24,900, coinciding with its 20-DEMA. Analysts believe that a sustained move above this level could further boost recovery, with upside targets at 25,150 initially, followed by a major hurdle at 25,400.

“Going ahead, participants should focus on sectors demonstrating relative strength—such as metals, autos, and PSUs—while remaining selective in others,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research, Religare Broking.
