EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro is less than 50 pips away from the 2018 low

EUR/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average.
EUR/USD is currently trading below the 1.1350 resistance after the FOMC statement released on Thursday sent the pair about 100 pips down. Bears are now less than 50 pips away from the 2018 low at 1.1300. The main trend is on their side and so are the RSI, MACD indicators. The Stochastic is already in the oversold zone.
On the flip side, bulls will try to prevent the fall to the 2018 low to happen by defending the current November 9 low at the 1.1335 level.
