FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - USD/JPY fell below 78.00 and hit its lowest level in over 7 weeks weighed by the risk aversion environment. However, the pair managed to bounce and trimmed losses amid Japan's authorities jawboning.

USD/JPY has climbed back toward the 78.30 zone as it corrects oversold levels after bottoming out at 77.94 during the European session. At time of writing, the cross is quoting at the 78.25 area, still down 0.2% on the day.

"Now that the bears have had time to re-group and push through 78.00 (77.94 low), there is plenty of space on the downside to explore with very few support levels to tackle and putting us on course for our 77.66 target", says Swissquote Bank SA team.
