FxWirePro: USD/JPY recovery attempts capped at 21-EMA, hovers around 11 handle ahead of US new home sales data

• USD/JPY recovery attempts capped at 21-EMA at 111.36, trades 0.14% lower on the day.
   
• Technical indicators are slightly bearish. We see scope for downside on bearish divergence and weak momentum indicators.
   
• Markets await US new home sales data due later today ahead of the US Q2 GDP figures slated for release this Friday.
   
• Focus shall also be on the all-important trade talks between the European Union (EU) President Juncker and the US President Trump.
   
• While Trump called for a free trade deal with the EU late-Tuesday, EU urges for Trump to suspend tariffs in order to get a trade deal.
   
• Global trade war tensions continue to dent market sentiment and will likely keep downside pressure on the pair.
   
• Next major support lies at 110.55 (50-DMA) ahead of 110.09 (200-DMA). 21-EMA is immediate resistance. Breakout above could see minor upside.
