Here's the previous rate announcement's effect on price action:
I guess I was previously mistaken about the timing of Carney's speech, which was on June 12th (prompting a 100 pip bull run) and occurred before the rate announcement on June 18th (which tacked on an additional 100 pips in the 24 hours thereafter (and then more ... and more until nearly testing 1.7200 nearly 400 pips later)).
Naturally we're at a different juncture in GBP/USD price at this moment in time, which may result in a more muted reaction to the rate announcement (pure speculation here).
