The GBP/JPY pair is currently testing important short-term resistance near 146.05 and a clear breakout above it will confirm that the corrective low is near 144.90 and renewed strength higher towards 147.00 and 148.50 should be expected in the coming weeks.
Strong resistance will be found in the 149.00 - 150.00 area, which might cap the upside for a more volatile period, but for now, we will keep our focus on the upside and a rally towards 147.00.
