GBP/JPY is consolidating with bullish bias. It is undermined by weak euro sentiment; reduced investor risk appetite; Japan exporter sales. But GBP/JPY losses are tempered by demand from Japan importers; positions adjustment before Japan long weekend. Daily chart is negative-biased as MACD and stochastics turned bearish; bearish parabolic stop-and-reverse signal was hit Thursday.
