The total volume of U.S. jobless claims declined, which can be interpreted as a positive signal for the American labor market. Against this background, the dollar began to strengthen.

If the price continues to hold below the 1.0800 level, this might trigger an increase in short positions. In such a case, further formation of a corrective cycle towards the local low set in May might occur. However, it is worth noting that there is an oversold level of the euro in the short-term and intraday perspective. This technical signal might prompt the closure of short positions and, as a result, a partial recovery of the euro rate.

GBP/USD trading plan for August 25

Considering the significant weakening of the British pound during the previous day, it can be assumed that short positions are near overheating, which may lead to a technical pullback. The support level of 1.2550, which the rate has recently approached, can be considered as a potential foundation here. However, if the price shows inertia, it might overlook technical signals of being oversold. In such a case, if the price remains below the 1.2550 level, it might trigger further decline in the rate.
