Not a good buy right now: the primary trend is still bearish (MACD negative and worsening; bearish moving-average stack), and there are no proprietary buy signals to override that.
The stock is extremely oversold (RSI_6 7.6) and sitting near key support (5.90), so a short-term bounce is possible, but the setup is not favorable for an impatient buyer because downside trend pressure remains dominant.
Hedge funds are aggressively selling (selling amount up ~2080% QoQ), which is a strong negative positioning signal.
With earnings on 2026-02-19 (pre-market), near-term volatility/event risk is elevated; without a clear edge or signal, buying now is not justified.
Bottom line: Avoid initiating a new long position today; only reconsider if price reclaims the pivot (~6.30) and momentum stabilizes.
Technical Analysis
Trend/Momentum: Bearish. MACD histogram at -0.0767 is below zero and negatively expanding, consistent with accelerating downside momentum.
Overbought/Oversold: RSI_6 at ~7.62 indicates extremely oversold conditions (bounce risk), but oversold alone is not a reliable entry without confirmation.
Moving averages: Bearish structure (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), implying both long-term and short-term trend alignment to the downside.
Key levels:
Support: S1 ~5.896 (price ~5.88 is slightly below/around this), then S2 ~5.648.
Resistance: Pivot ~6.297, then R1 ~6.698.
Near-term pattern odds (model): modestly negative bias (next week -1.19%, next month -1.81%), not supportive of an immediate buy.
Gross margin: 12.91, up +125.70% YoY (meaningful margin improvement, a clear positive trend).

Neutral
Reason
Citi analyst Nelson Cheung lowered the firm's price target on DouYu to $7 from $10.50 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares following the Q1 report. The firm's sales missed estimates due to the continued scale-back of live-streaming, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that going into the rest of 2025, DouYu will likely continue to de-prioritize its live-streaming business with focus on diversifying revenue streams.

Reason
Citi upgraded DouYu to Neutral from Sell with a price target of $10.50, up from $5.90, after the company reported "better-than-feared" Q4 results. Entering 2025, Douyu will likely focus on expanding higher value businesses, such as voice-based social network and game prop sales, to offset the declining live-streaming business and management is also committed to reducing costs significantly, which the firm believes should help Douyu bring forward the breakeven timeline to 2025, the analyst tells investors.
