UNLOCK OFFER- EUR/USD extends the rally on persistent USD weakness.
- The latest FOMC event keep weighing on the dollar.
- Markets’ focus will be on EMU’s CPI, US PCE.

Conditions do appear to be supportive of further upside in EUR/USD in the near term, with a potential test of the psychological 1.2000 mark now emerging on the horizon.

Further north comes in the psychological 1.2000 mark, where also sits the critical 200-day SMA. A surpass of the latter should alleviate the selling pressure.
