Yesterday’s signals produced a profitable short trade following the bearish rejection of the resistance level at 1.1380. This trade has the trend behind it, so it may be worthwhile leaving any profit to run.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that as long and medium-term trends were bearish, with the medium-term trend evidenced by the bearish price channel shown in the chart below. I would be happy to take a bearish bias if we saw a clear failure to rise higher at any nearby key resistance levels. We got this at 1.1380 and the price has fallen from here in a healthy bearish wave, and the action still looks quite bearish, so this was a good call.
I do not see any reason not to remain bearish today, with the U.S. Dollar rising almost everywhere.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
