Staying above keeps the buyers more in control and will have traders looking toward the 50% midpoint of the move down from the July low at 0.65824.

Corrective Forces Help the Dollar Stabilize

Overview: Corrective forces helped the dollar stabilize yesterday and it enjoys a firmer today. The euro has slipped below $1.09, and the dollar has resurfaced above JPY149.00.
