• GBP/AUD  initially gained but gave up ground as investors digested Bank of England rate decision and Australian jobs data

• Bank of England  kept its main interest rate on hold at 4% after August's quarter-percentage-point cut, as expected.

• The Australian unemployment rate held at 4.2%, still historically low, even as the participation rate declined to 66.8%.

•  Immediate resistance is located at 2.0555 (SMA 20), any close above will push the pair towards 2.0722 (50% fib).

• Strong support is seen at 2.0376 (61.8% fib) and break below could take the pair towards 2.0266 (Lower BB).
