The USD/JPY pair refreshed session lows in the last hour, albeit managed to defend the 104.00 marks and quickly recovered around 30-40 pips thereafter.
The pair met with some fresh supply during the Asian session on Wednesday and eroded a part of the previous day's strong rally of nearly 400 pips, supported by resurgent US dollar demand and a strong recovery in the global risk sentiment.
