Liquidity measures and stable Riksbank policy shape forex sentiment

The US Department of the Treasury announced it will at least double the size of liquidity support buybacks for 10-year to 30-year Treasury securities from September 9, 2026, after a surge in long-term yields. This move is aimed at increasing liquidity in US government bond markets, impacting demand for the US Dollar. Additionally, the Swedish Riksbank is expected to keep its monetary policy rate unchanged in the upcoming decision, which could influence the Swedish Krona.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees a fragile USD/SEK rebound. He notes persistent technical weakness—below both the 20- and 50-day moving averages—with resistance around kr9.4938. Short-term dollar demand is driven by the US Treasury's buyback plans, but Kharitonov highlights that underlying momentum remains negative. He warns that the Swedish Krona could find support if the Riksbank holds rates steady. "The recent dollar uptick looks unsustainable, and a break below kr9.4308 could accelerate selling pressure," Kharitonov states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, underscores the constructive impact of the US Treasury’s increased buybacks on USD/SEK sentiment. He sees ongoing liquidity support boosting confidence in the dollar, despite near-term technical resistance. Karapetjanc highlights the long-term bullish structure as intact while market attention shifts to policy signals from the Swedish Riksbank. "With further institutional support and macro tailwinds, I expect breakout opportunities above kr9.4938 and see room for expansion toward kr9.55," he affirms.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes a mix of oversold conditions and volatile intraday sentiment in USD/SEK. He points out the sharp daily gain and session-high price action, but observes weak underlying momentum from MACD and oscillators. Turakhiya suggests that traders watch both kr9.4938 and kr9.4308 for short-term setups. "Price swings favor tactical approaches — a quick rebound is possible, but sellers may retake control on failure to break key resistance," Turakhiya advises.

Short-term resistance holds amid mixed, mostly weak momentum signals

USD/SEK is trading below its 20-day (kr9.531) and 50-day (kr9.6273) moving averages, reflecting ongoing short- and medium-term pressure from sellers. The pair remains above the 200-day (kr9.3316), which acts as long-term support. Key technical levels include a near-term ceiling at kr9.4938 and a floor at kr9.4308, with the Ichimoku Kijun (kr9.6045) confirming immediate resistance. Momentum signals are mixed: MACD issues a sell reading, ADX is neutral, while the RSI at 37.19 and CCI at -111.14 both indicate oversold conditions. The Stochastic RSI is extremely oversold at 0. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) shows intraday buying dominance with a positive value of 0.0155. Today’s price action has been near the session high, and daily volatility amplitude is 0.80%. The daily gain of kr0.0495 or 0.52% reflects intraday strength near the top of the range, although this bounce diverges from generally weak momentum signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/SEK was exhibiting a predominantly bearish technical setup with sellers maintaining control. The current market outlook reinforces this bearish tilt, with downside risk prevailing unless the pair can decisively reclaim the kr9.4938 resistance level in the coming sessions.
