EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Bears threatening to break below 1.1530 key level as the Euro is setting up for further losses

EUR/USD is gaining bearish traction as the market is breaking below the 1.1530 key level and the 50-period simple moving average.
The break of the level should open the door to further losses towards 1.1500 and 1.1463 (October 4 low). The RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicators are bearishly configured suggesting a downside continuation.
A reversal up above 1.1630 should invalidate the bearish bias.
