DKNG is trading below its 200-day MA ($27.00) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 61.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -43.2% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 63.7%). The current 46.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
