Trade Setup For November 6:

"Market participants remain watchful of upcoming U.S. Fed comments, crude price trends, and domestic earnings for near-term direction. Volatility is expected to persist, with support for Nifty seen around 25,500 and resistance near 25,850 in the sessions ahead," said Kasat.

Further, Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities said, "We are of the view that, as long as the market is trading below 25,700/83750, weak sentiment is likely to continue. On the downside, the market could slip to 25,550/83300. Further weakness may also persist, which could drag the market to 25,450-25,400/83000-82800. On the flip side, above 25,700/83750, the market is likely to bounce back to 25,800/84100 and 25,875/84400.''

Technically, Ajit Mishra - SVP, Research, Religare Broking added, ''the Nifty retested its 20-day EMA, and a sustained move below this level could weaken the positive bias, potentially extending the corrective phase toward 25,400. On the upside, 25,800 is likely to act as an immediate hurdle. Traders are advised to align positions accordingly and maintain a strong focus on risk management until a clear directional trend emerges."
