### Breakout Stocks: Sumeet Bagadia's Top 5 Buy Recommendations for October 24, 2025
On October 24, 2025, Indian markets opened with cautious optimism amid profit-booking from the previous session, as the Nifty 50 hovered between 25,900 and 26,300. Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, shared his technical analysis in a Livemint column, highlighting five breakout stocks poised for upside momentum. These picks are based on fresh chart breakouts, strong volume, and bullish patterns like ascending triangles or support retests. Bagadia advises a stock-specific approach, emphasizing intraday and short-term trades while maintaining strict stop-losses to manage volatility.
Bagadia's overall market view: "The Indian stock market sentiment is cautiously positive despite strong profit-booking on Thursday. The Nifty 50 index finished below 26,000 after a profit-booking trigger around the 26,300 levels." He sees potential for Nifty to rebound toward 26,300 if it holds above 25,900, but warns of downside risks below 25,700.
