The GBP/JPY pair turned to the upside and now is trading at 184.59 at the time of writing. The price action signaled that the retreat ended and that the buyers could take it higher again. The upside pressure is high as the Yen Futures' crash weakened the JPY.
Today, the UK banks were closed in observance of the Summer Bank Holiday. In the morning, the Japanese Unemployment Rate could bring some action if it comes in worse or better than expected. On the other hand, the UK is to release the BRC Shop Price Index. Don't forget that the US is to release high-impact data which should move the JPY as well.
