Watchlist Recap: How Our Nov. 6 Stocks to Watch Played Out
By Tech & Money Press · Recap of our Stocks to Watch for Friday, November 6, 2026
Every night we publish key levels for the next trading day. Here is how Friday’s list played out. All prices are regular-session data from Webull unless noted.
The market bounced after Thursday’s sell-off: SPY rose 0.3%, QQQ 1.4% and the IWM 1.0%, helped by a strong October jobs report. Our list split clearly in two. The stocks that held their first support in pre-market worked, and the ones that lost it did not.

| INDI | $1.81 (+33.6%) | $1.60–$1.86 | Broke $1.66 in pre-market, held $1.60 at the open and reached $1.86, just above our $1.83 | ✅ |
| PTLO | $6.64 (−5.4%) | $6.52–$6.95 | Never reached $7.02; held $6.50 by 2 cents twice and drifted lower | ➖ |

Xeris Biopharma (XERS) – The best setup of the week
Xeris spent most of the pre-market between $12.89 and $13.42, well above our $12.51 first support. Just before the open it jumped to $13.94, and it opened at $13.81, already above our $13.74 first resistance. In the first 15 minutes it broke our $14.00 second resistance, reaching $14.21.
It pulled back to $13.53 around 10 a.m. ET, then climbed steadily for the rest of the day. It closed at $15.20, its high of the day and a new 52-week high, up 16.2% on about 7.9 million shares. That was about $1.20 above our last resistance level. A clear hit for a day-two setup.
indie Semiconductor (INDI) – Gap held, both resistance levels reached
INDI drifted near our $1.53 first support through the early pre-market, then ran to $1.72 before the open, breaking our $1.66 first resistance. It opened at $1.70 and dipped to $1.60 in the first 15 minutes, then reclaimed $1.66 and climbed to $1.86 by about 11:15 a.m. ET, just above our $1.83 second resistance. It closed at $1.81, up 33.6% on about 16.9 million shares, more than twice Thursday’s volume.
Portillo’s (PTLO) – Support held, no upside
Portillo’s opened at $6.91 and topped out at $6.95, just short of our $7.02 first resistance. It fell to $6.52 twice in the first 45 minutes, holding our $6.50 first support by 2 cents, then traded between $6.60 and $6.85 for the rest of the day. It closed at $6.64, down 5.4%. The level held, but there was no trade on the upside, so we mark it neutral.
Playboy (PLBY) – The warning sign worked
Playboy’s after-hours gap faded overnight. It slid from $1.47 to about $1.33 in pre-market, losing our $1.41 first support. In Friday’s list we wrote that losing $1.41 in pre-market would probably end the gap. It opened at $1.29, dropped to $1.18 in the first 15 minutes, well below our $1.305 second support, and closed at $1.29.
Krispy Kreme (DNUT) – The miss
Krispy Kreme traded between $4.45 and $4.63 in pre-market, far below our $5.03 first resistance. It opened at $4.41 and broke both our $4.29 and $4.00 supports in the first 30 minutes, hitting $3.81. It bounced back to $4.48 by early afternoon, then faded to close at $4.17, down 9.3%.
Takeaways
Two hits, one neutral and two misses. The pattern from this week held again: XERS and INDI stayed above their first support before the open and went on to break resistance, while PLBY and DNUT were already weak in pre-market. The pre-market test of the first support has been the best early clue on our lists.
Our next list, Stocks to Watch for Monday, Nov. 9, will be published on Sunday.
