FxWirePro: USD/JPY loses momentum but  bullish setup remains - EconoTimes

* USD/JPY dipped on Wednesday as dollar lost ground following as initial optimism over the U.S.-China trade truce faded

* U.S. consumer prices rose modestly in April, with cheaper food offsetting higher rents, marking the slowest annual inflation in four years. However, the inflation outlook remains uncertain amid tariff concerns.

* U.S. consumer price index increased 0.2% last month, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Tuesday. Economists polled had forecast the CPI would rise 0.3%.

* The data showed cooling price pressures before Trump's tariff moves and reinforced expectations that the Fed will likely hold off on rate cuts until late summer.

* At GMT 06:34, the US dollar was down 0.37% to 147.11 against the yen.

* Immediate resistance is located at 147.71 (Daily high), any close above will push the pair towards 148.69(38.2%fib).

* Support is seen at 146.80(50%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 145.00(61.8%fib).

Recommendation: Good to buy around 146.90, with stop loss of 146.10 and target price of 148.50
