FXStreet (Tokyo) - The Sterling is falling against the Japanese Yen as the JPY is trading with a strong note on Wednesday. After falling 135 pips in the day, the GBP/JPY is now testing 177.05, Tuesday's lows.

GBP/JPY Forecast
As Omkar Godbole early reported, "the British Pound came under sharp selling pressure after the GBP/USD fell below 1.48 levels. The short positions closed ahead of the financial year end yesterday, could have been re-entered today."
Richard Perry from Hantec Markets also commented in the FXStreet Forecast Poll that the GBP/JPY "momentum remains negative but the support around 176.00 is now in play again. This is key to preventing a big sell-off back towards 168.00."
