Overview:
GBP/JPY is consolidating in lower range. The rate is underpinned by reduced worries over Cyprus; demand from Japan importers; expectations of aggressive monetary easing measures from BOJ to achieve 2% inflation target. But GBP/JPY gains tempered by Japan exporter sales; positions adjustment before weekend. Daily chart is still negative-biased as MACD and stochastics are bearish, although latter is at oversold; five-day moving average is below 15-day MA and declining.
