Bitcoin is the first successful internet money based on peer-to-peer technology; whereby no central bank or authority is involved in the transaction and production of the Bitcoin currency. It was created by an anonymous individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the developmental process.  Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere all the time with no central authority and banks.  Bitcoin is designed to have only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes.  Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on.  The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.

Top Stock Picks For October: Three Stocks That Analysts Are Bullish On

Analysts have turned bullish on Hindustan Copper, Sona BLW, and L&T, citing strong technical setups and improving fundamentals.

Nykaa shares have extended the bullish momentum, rising over 10% in the past month, and are on track to clock their biggest yearly jump.However, one must note that Nykaa has mostly traded below its listing price for the past three years. In the last two years, the price has shown a strong recovery, gaining nearly 132% and currently trading around ₹265 (still below its listing at ₹336.35 in 2021)SEBI-registered&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/holdwithPriyank">analyst Priyank Sharma</a> highlighted that this rally shifted the structure upward. In 2025, the stock successfully broke the previous year’s high of ₹230, confirming an uptrend. Looking ahead, if the momentum continues, he expects the price may test ₹315 levels, which will be a key zone to determine whether it can move towards creating a new all-time high above ₹429.&nbsp;Sharma recommended&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/holdwithPriyank/message/631777337">Nykaa shares</a> for ladder buying up to ₹215 from the current market price, with target prices set at ₹315, ₹395, ₹430, and open-ended beyond that. He advised holding a stop loss at ₹200 on a weekly closing basis with an investment duration of three to six months for short-term targets and over 15 months for a potential new high.&nbsp;Challenges &amp; RisksSharma noted that the beauty and fashion sector is highly competitive, and heavy spending on marketing and discounts can impact profitability. Also, economic slowdowns can affect demand.&nbsp;Since Nykaa already trades at high valuations, he cautioned that any decline in growth, execution inefficiencies, or margin pressures could create valuation risk.&nbsp;Triggers To WatchMargin expansion remains a key driver, according to Sharma. If Nykaa continues to improve its operating and EBITDA margins, he believes that the current valuation premium could be justified.&nbsp;He also advised that monitoring growth in non-beauty verticals such as fashion and home products can provide diversification and reduce dependency on the core beauty segment.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/holdwithPriyank/message/631777337</stembedurl>What Is The Retail Mood?Data on Stocktwits showed retail sentiment has been ‘bullish’ for a week amid ‘high’ message volumes after the company shared a strong business update for Q2.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:809/100;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_10_144836_png_27fb8cf68d.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-10 144836.png" width="809" height="100"><figcaption>Nykaa sentiment and message volume on Oct 10 as of 2:30 pm IST. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Nykaa shares have surged over 60% year-to-date (YTD).&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Nykaa Shares Soar Over 60% In 2025 — Can The Beauty Retailer Reclaim Its IPO Glory?

An analyst expects the stock to test ₹315 next, with the potential to reach ₹430 if momentum holds.

NTPC Green Energy shares gained over 1% on Friday after the renewable arm of NTPC signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat government to develop solar parks. In one of the largest renewable deals in India, NTPC Green would&nbsp;develop solar parks and projects with a cumulative capacity of 10 GW and wind projects of 5 GW in the state.Last month, the company had inked an MoU with Tamil Nadu government&nbsp;to boost green energy technologies. It is also developing the green hydrogen hub in Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bullish Bet On NTPC GreenSEBI-registered investment advisor&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/thetradebond">Nidhi Saxena of The Trade Bond</a> believes this move is bullish for NTPC Green as the renewable arm has emerged as the core growth driver for NTPC’s transition toward a cleaner energy future. It enjoys long-term revenue visibility driven by its robust order pipeline.&nbsp;And is&nbsp; positioned for a future IPO or separate listing, which could lead the market to re-rate NTPC Green as a pure renewable energy play.However, Saxena also cautioned that the company faces challenges such as large capital expenditure requirements, potential delays in land acquisition and transmission infrastructure, and competitive tariff pressures. And there is the overhang of uncertainty in power purchase agreements (PPAs).&nbsp;Technical OutlookOn the technical side, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NTPCGREEN.NSE">NTPC Green stock</a> has been showing signs of accumulation and has formed higher lows, suggesting a bullish market structure.&nbsp;Saxena pegged immediate support at ₹96 and major support at ₹92, while resistance is seen at ₹102, with a significant breakout likely above ₹108. A sustained move above ₹108 could open the doors to targets of ₹120 and ₹135. She added that if the stock holds above ₹96, it would keep the bullish momentum intact. But a break below ₹92 could weaken the trend.&nbsp;Trading CallFor swing or positional traders, Saxena suggested buying NTPC Green between ₹96 and ₹100 with a stop loss at ₹92 on a closing basis. The upside targets remain ₹108, ₹120, and potentially ₹135 or higher.In the short term, she expects the stock may test ₹102–108. And in the medium-term, a breakout above ₹108 can start a fresh rally. Over the long term, NGEL holds multi-bagger potential, particularly if it is listed independently or valued purely as a green energy entity. As long as it holds above ₹96, Saxena remains bullish on NTPC Green, with ₹108 marked as the critical breakout level to watch.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/thetradebond/message/631775668</stembedurl>What Is The Retail Mood?Data on Stocktwits showed that retail sentiment recently turned ‘bearish’.

Tata Communications shares surged 10% on Friday, on a sentiment boost after India’s largest IT services provider, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) outlined plans for AI dominance.&nbsp;The IT behemoth is planning to develop a 1 gigawatt AI-driven data capacity centre over the next five to seven years. The capex will be around $1 bn for every 150 megawatts, with a total outlay of over $6.4 bn, which will be funded through a mix of debt and equity.&nbsp; TCS will be keeping the data center business separate and all the data and computing will be hosted in India itself.Analysts at Nirmal Bang highlighted that TCS chose this business as it creates a synergy with existing hyperscalers and AI-native companies who would be using this data center for their India requirements. Apart from this, there will also be a unique synergy with the rest of the Tata Group companies.Market buzz indicates that Tata Communications could be a strong beneficiary of this move, with its existing data connectivity and cloud infrastructure network. TCS could leverage its extensive land bank for building these large-scale data centers in India, offering potential monetisation of surplus land.Tata Communications recently announced&nbsp;the launch of its Voice AI platform, powered by Agentic AI. It would be used to improve BFSI customer engagement with multilingual support (40+ languages).&nbsp;It will be reporting its September quarter earnings (Q2 FY26) on October 15.&nbsp;What Is The Retail Mood?Data on Stocktwits shows that retail sentiment moved to ‘neutral’ a day earlier.

Here’s Why Tata Communications Shares Surged 10% Today 

TCS unveiled plans for 1 GW AI-driven data capacity centers, investing over $6 billion across India.  Analysts expect Tata Communications to benefit from this AI push. 

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a new Expected Credit Loss (ECL) draft, marking a turning point for Indian banks.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NIFTYBANK.NSE">&nbsp;</a>Effective from April 2027, the ECL regime will require banks to provision for potential credit losses instead of waiting for them to become bad loans. SEBI-registered <a href="https://stocktwits.com/frontwave">analyst Front Wave Research</a> explained that this meant lenders will move from the ‘incurred loss’ model to ‘expected loss’, which will be a proactive approach to recognizing risk.What Changes: Shift from Reaction To PredictionBy employing probability-based models that combine Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Exposure at Default (EAD), banks will be required to provision for losses earlier. This shift aims to create cleaner balance sheets, though it is likely to impose higher short-term costs, Front Wave noted.&nbsp;While the initial impact of RBI’s moves would be a compression in profitability, as banks report higher provisioning, analysts believe that over the longer term, it would translate into&nbsp;stronger buffers, smoother earnings, and better investor confidence in the banking sector’s health.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/frontwave/message/631613813</stembedurl>Who Gets Impacted The Most?The impact of the ECL framework will be varied across segments. Housing loans stand to benefit as&nbsp;lower risk weights mean less capital per loan. This would help unlock lending potential and boost retail credit growth, especially from large private banks.On the other hand, the MSME segment may face higher provisioning initially, but may move towards&nbsp;more disciplined underwriting and prudent credit assessment over time.Front Wave also noted that corporate loans may see a neutral-to-slightly negative near-term impact due to higher provisioning on lower-rated borrowers. However, well-rated corporates could even benefit from lower expected losses.And lastly, unsecured loans will remain the most affected segment, as lenders will need to allocate heavier provisions and reassess their risk appetite to maintain balance sheet health.Front Wave cautioned that banks with higher unsecured or microfinance exposure&nbsp;and those with more Special Mention Account (SMA) accounts could face increased provisioning requirements. While the ECL framework tightens risk recognition, the lower housing loan risk weights act as a counterbalance, fueling volume-led credit growth.This dynamic makes India’s banking system both safer and more growth-ready, according to them.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Nifty Tops 25,200 Amid Bullish Sentiment; IT Stocks Drag After TCS, Tata Elxsi Earnings

Markets kicked off on a strong note amid sustained FII inflows and bullish retail sentiment. 

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares fell 1% in opening trade on Friday after the IT bellwether posted a solid performance in the September quarter (Q2 FY26), beating market estimates. This was led by&nbsp;improving profitability, a strong order book &amp; AI-led transformation focus.&nbsp;Q2 profits rose 1.7% year-on-year (YoY) but fell 5% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to ₹12,075 crore, with revenues increasing 3.7% (QoQ) to ₹65,799 crore. Margins were steady at 24.76% and India’s largest IT services company declared a second interim dividend of ₹11 per share, with October 15 as the record date, and payable on November 4.&nbsp;The company reported total contract value (TCV) of $10 billion for the quarter, with multiple large deals across sectors. However, growth in its biggest market, North America, slowed slightly.TCS CEO K Krithivasan said, “We’re on a journey to become the world’s largest AI-led tech services company.” They are focusing on AI, talent building, and partnerships to drive long-term growth. The company ended the quarter with 6.13 lakh employees and an attrition rate of 13.8%.&nbsp;How To Trade TCS Stock?SEBI-registered analyst&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/Ca_mayankchandel">Mayank Singh Chandel</a> believes that <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TCS.NSE">TCS stock</a> is showing signs of recovery. And a breakout above ₹3,203 could mark the beginning of a new uptrend.&nbsp;He noted that TCS stock has been in a downtrend since September 2024, trading below its 100 &amp; 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which shows weakness on the higher timeframe. But now it’s finding strong support around ₹3,030 to ₹2,915, a zone where buying interest is visible. The Relative Strength Index stood above 50, suggesting that momentum is improving.&nbsp;For a safer entry, Chandel advised traders to wait for a breakout above ₹3,203, which could confirm a fresh upside move.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Ca_mayankchandel/message/631768819</stembedurl>Rerating On The Cards<a href="https://stocktwits.com/frontwave">Front Wave Research</a> believes that TCS has bottomed out and is entering its next curve of growth: from cash preservation to capacity creation.&nbsp;Over the past decade, TCS has produced cumulative operating cash flows of ₹3.44 lakh crore, with free cash flow at ₹3.17 lakh crore, which translated into an impressive free cash flow conversion rate of approximately 92%.&nbsp;This performance ranks TCS among the highest globally for large-cap IT companies, they highlighted. It has also been a consistent compounding engine, earning and retaining cash faster than it could deploy.&nbsp;Front Wave flagged that despite generating more than ₹45,000 crore in annual free cash flow, TCS’s capital reinvestment ratio has historically stayed within the 6–10% range, which showed significant underutilisation of funds. And the time seems ripe to put it into action.&nbsp;TCS announced its plans for AI dominance and will be building a 1 GW AI data-centre build-out in India, its biggest capacity initiative in over a decade. Front Wave noted that this follows global playbooks similar to those of Google, Meta, and Amazon, which have funnelled surplus capital into data-infrastructure expansion. The analysts believe that this pivot could unlock a new volume-growth driver: moving from people-linked billing to infrastructure-linked scalability.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/frontwave/message/631628613</stembedurl>What Is The Retail Mood?Data on Stocktwits shows that retail sentiment remained ‘neutral’ on this counter amid ‘high’ message volumes.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:825/112;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_10_091206_png_c4bddd6490.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-10 091206.png" width="825" height="112"><figcaption>TCS sentiment and message volume on Oct 10 as of 9:15 am IST. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>TCS shares have declined 25% year-to-date (YTD), primarily due to tariff and H1-B visa concerns in the US.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

TCS Q2 Results Beat Estimates — Should You Buy The Dip Or Wait For A Breakout?

Analysts believe the stock is nearing a turnaround zone, with a breakout above ₹3,203 likely to confirm a new uptrend.

Indian equity markets had a steady session on Thursday, bouncing from the 20-day moving average. The Nifty index ended closer to 25,200, led by strong buying in IT, metals, and pharmaceuticals.Will the markets sustain this momentum? SEBI-registered analysts shared the trade set-up for October 10 on Stocktwits.&nbsp;Trade Setup For FridayFrom a technical perspective,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/BHARATSHARMA_StockAce_RA">Bharat Sharma of Stockace Financial Services</a> flagged that 25,200 remains the immediate resistance for the Nifty index in Friday’s session. If it manages to break past this decisively, a further move toward the 25,240–25,250 zone may follow.For an indication of renewed market strength, the Nifty index must sustain above these levels, possibly triggering a sharp rally toward 25,290–25,360, as short positions could get trapped within that resistance zone.On the downside, immediate support is seen at 25,170. A breach below this level could lead to a test of 25,130, which is likely to serve as a crucial intraday support. A fall below this would open the doors to 25,080, 25,030, 25,000, and even 24,980.&nbsp;Watch for the auto sector on Friday as China announced a ban on the export of certain rare metals, including graphite and lithium-ion materials. Also, IT remains in focus due to modest Q2 earnings from bellwether Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) last evening.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/BHARATSHARMA_StockAce_RA/message/631670741</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/Dipak_Takodara">Dipak Takodara&nbsp;</a>reiterated that while the market&nbsp;momentum supported the bulls with the Relative Strength Index staying above 50 and rising, the 25,200–25,250 cap is still the key resistance.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Dipak_Takodara/message/631618819</stembedurl>Analyst&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/prabhatmittal1">Prabhat Mittal</a> identified Nifty support at 25,080 with resistance at 25,220.
