USD/SEK Price Forecast: Technical outlook
During the Asian and European session, the USD/SEK dipped as low as 9.0500, pierced the December 22 daily low at 9.0535. However, as European traders got to their desks, the pair rallied up to the December 23 daily high around 9.1323, which capped the upward move, settling around current levels.
From the daily chart perspective, the USD/SEK depicts the formation of a “perfect” textbook bullish-flag chart pattern, formed through the month of December, that in the event of breaking around the 9.1500 figure would target 9.4000.
Nevertheless, it would find some hurdles on the way north. The first resistance would be the psychological 9.1500 figure. A breach of the latter would expose successive daily highs/resistance levels reached in December, like the December 20 daily high at 9.1704, followed by the December 3 high at 9.1864, and then the November 26 YTD high at 9.2026.
On the flip side, the first support would be 9.0500. A break below that level would expose the December 16 9.0043, followed by the figure at 9.000.
