# What's Going On With Baidu Stock Tuesday?

**Baidu Inc.** (NASDAQ:BIDU) stock fell nearly 8% in Tuesday’s premarket trading as the Chinese tech stock remained under pressure near its 52-week low. Nasdaq futures rose 0.20%, while S&P 500 futures slipped 0.13%.

## Baidu Stock Tests Key Support

Baidu shares have struggled for months. The stock trades 5.8% below its 20-day simple moving average of $97.71. It is also 12.8% below its 50-day SMA of $105.56 and 25% below its 200-day SMA of $122.72.

The bearish setup follows a death cross in April, when the 50-day SMA fell below the 200-day SMA. Meanwhile, Baidu’s relative strength index stands at 50.68, indicating neutral momentum.

The stock’s 52-week low of $89.60 now serves as a key support area.
