GBP/JPY currency pair has been trading in double top pattern's boundaries since early August, and it seems that the pair has all chances to form a rectangle pattern, rather than penetrate any of the trend lines. The pair has inched lower on Tuesday, and was trading just 65 pips above the 200-period SMA. In case a dip below this level, bears would be able to push the pair even down to the recent low of 156.65. Technical indicators, however, do not give a clear "buy" or "sell" signals, however, market sentiment is strongly bearish, as 65% of opened positions are short. Furthermore, the majority of pending orders are also placed to sell the pair.
