Fundamental overview:
GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with risks skewed higher after hitting a three-week high 136.70 on Thursday. It is supported by the positive investor risk sentiment and demand from Japan's importers. But the EUR/JPY gains are tempered by the Japanese exports and positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.
Technical comment:
The daily chart is positive-biased as the MACD and stochastics are bullish, five-day moving average is above 15-day moving average and is advancing.
