The FOMC minutes indicate that a "substantial majority of participants judged that a slowing in the pace of increase would likely soon be appropriate,". The minor pullback in pound sterling prevents the pair from further downside   Any close above 1.2100 confirms further bullishness, and a jump to 1.2180 is possible. Technically in the 4-hour chart, GBPJPY holds above 21-EMA, 55- EMA, and long-term 200 EMA (166.40).  Any convincing close above 169.10 will take it to the next level 170/172.
