GBP/JPY is staying in consolidation below 153.83 temporary top and intraday bias remains neutral first. In case of another retreat, downside should be contained by 151.15 minor support to bring rise resumption. Above 153.83 will extend the rally from 144.97 and target to retest 156.96 high. However, break of 151.15 will suggest that such rebound from 144.97 has completed and bring retest of this support.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 156.59 are viewed as a corrective pattern. For now, we’d expect at least one more fall for 38.2% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 143.51 before the consolidation completed. Though, firm break of 156.59 will resume whole up trend from 122.36 (2016 low) to 50% retracement of 195.86 (2015high) to 122.36 at 159.11 next.
