Despite yesterdays 19:30 GMT “flash crash” on the pound quotes (100pips in seconds), GBP/JPY has practically defended its position. Significant support of 143.70 has been maintained and it is worth considering where the price will go further.

So far, there is no clearer signal to enter, so be careful and watch for further developments.
