Fundamental outlook: GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with bullish bias. It is undermined by the bullish yen sentiment and Japan's exports. But GBP/JPY losses are tempered by the improved euro sentiment amid hopes for a deal between Greece and its creditors, positive investor risk sentiment, and demand from Japanese importers.
