[ANNOUNCE] The first part of Thursday's trading session was spent with no changes to the overall price level for GBP/USD, as traders were cautious prior to the BOE policy statement scheduled for 1200GMT.[/ANNOUNCE] 

Even though the bank kept the rates on hold, Carney's comments about sooner hike strengthened the British Sterling above its two-day resistance of 1.40. This relatively high position was not maintained for long, as the 200-hour SMA near 1.4075 forced bulls to abandon their positions as a result of which the Pound fell slightly below the 38.20% Fibo and the 100-hour SMA. 

However, it did remain above the 55-hour SMA which could allow bulls to make another advancement, especially if the UK reports solid manufacturing production data at 0930GMT. 

A possible trading range for today could be 1.4060/1.3830.
