Dragon Riders GBP/JPY

This is a dumb question, but I would appreciate if someone could help shed some light:

With so much uncertainty regarding brexit, why would GBP rise in value at all - against JPY or any currency for that matter? Shouldn't we be seeing GBP/XXX going down in value across the board until everything is resolved with their currency? What is causing it to go up?

I'm waiting for this gbpjpy to drop...on the daily chart is down

It depends the time frame you're looking at.
Currency prices don't move +200 pips in one direction on a daily basis (unless there's some earth shattering news like BREXIT) or economies are severely impacted. Instead, they move over time in either direction establishing a TREND....you'll see this in lower TFs. It's influenced by many factors: greed, fear, algos, manipulation, etc.
Therefore, if you are a position trader who have a big trading account and looks at pairs on a long term, look at the daily, weekly, monthly charts while willing to absorb price swings.
If you are a short/medium term trader who's trying to grow their accounts like most of us here, look 1hr, 4hr and below.
