Overview: 

GBP/JPY is expected to range-trade supported by the demand from Japan importers. But GBP/JPY upside is limited by subdued risk appetite and Japan exporter sales. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bearish, 5 and 15-day moving averages are falling, but stochastics is turning bullish in oversold zone. 

Trading recommendation:

A breach of this target will move the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 170.25. The pivot point stands at 171.25.
