The GBP/JPY pair rallied on Thursday, and broke above the 140 level again. However, we started to sell off during the US session, so it still looks as if it is a “sell rallies” market. The British pound has a lot of bearish pressure on it overall, so out of all of the yen related pairs, I suspect this will be the weakest of the group. Ultimately, I suspect that the 139.25 level will offer support again, but if we break down below there we are probably looking at a move to the 138-handle next.
