  • GBP/JPY erases some of its gains, set to finish the week with more than 3% gains.
  • GBP/JPY traders mainly ignored UK’s political turmoil.
  • The cross-currency is range-bound, as depicted by the one-hour chart.

The GBP/JPY daily chart was unchanged compared to Thursday, though it should be noted that the exchange rate is above the October 5 high of 165.71, which could keep the GBP/JPY trading within the 165.71-167.27 range. Oscillators remain in positive territory, keeping the neutral-to-upward bias intact, though a break above 167.27 would pave the path to 167.94, ahead of challenging the YTD high at 168.73.
