BoE Holds Rates at 3.75%, Weighing on GBP/AUD

The Bank of England has maintained its policy rate at 3.75%, marking a neutral monetary stance following a 6-3 vote. This decision reduces the likelihood of near-term Pound Sterling appreciation against the Australian Dollar, keeping traders cautious.

GBP/AUD trades below key moving averages with broad momentum signals confirming a strong bearish bias and a projected range of A$1.8661 to A$1.8849. The Bank of England's rate pause curtails near-term pound upside, limiting immediate yield-driven support for Pound Sterling.

The H1 chart shows GBP/AUD sitting below the MA-20 at A$1.8843, MA-50 at A$1.8874, and the longer-term MA-200 at A$1.9014. The Ichimoku Kijun provides immediate resistance at A$1.8843.
