Current USD/JPY Trend Analysis and Trading Recommendations

On Wednesday, the USD/JPY attracted buyers for the second consecutive day, trading near 145.20 in the early European session, close to a two-week high. Japan's May CGPI rose 3.2% YoY, the slowest pace since September last year, potentially easing BOJ rate hike pressure and weakening the JPY. Additionally, optimism over a framework agreement in U.S.-China trade talks dented the JPY's safe-haven appeal. Technically, the price holds above the 200-period SMA on the 4-hour chart and breaches the 145.00 psychological level, with oscillators tilting bullish. A valid break above 145.30 (Tuesday's high) would confirm the bullish setup, targeting the 146.00 integer mark and 146.25-146.30 resistance zone.
