The British pound fell during the week against the Japanese yen, but bounced above the 140 handle. If we can clear the top of the candle, that would be a bullish sign but at the end of the day we are still below the uptrend line. The uptrend line being tested at the bottom of the line would be typical technical analysis. Because of this, I think the sellers will come in at the uptrend line, and perhaps push lower. If we breakdown below the hammer for the week, that is also very negative sign. I believe that the British pound should continue to be at risk for headline shocks.
