AUD/USD has rebounded from the 0.8660 barrier which has produced a Piercing Line pattern on the daily. Critically, the key reversal formation awaits confirmation from a successive up-day to be validated. A continued advance would likely encounter renewed selling pressure at the nearby 0.8885 ceiling.
