In this paper, we prove that there exists some small $\varepsilon_*>0$, such that the derivative nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation (DNLS) is global well-posedness in the energy space, provided that the initial data $u_0\in H^1(\mathbb{R})$ satisfies $\|u_0\|_{L^2}<\sqrt{2\pi}+\varepsilon_*$. This result shows us that there are no blow up solutions whose masses slightly exceed $2\pi$, even if their energies are negative. This phenomenon is much different from the behavior of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with critical nonlinearity. The technique is a variational argument together with the momentum conservation law. Further, for the DNLS on half-line $\mathbb{R}^+$, we show the blow-up for the solution with negative energy.
