Bond buybacks deploy amid Middle East conflict as officials brace for volatility

South Korean authorities convened a Middle East Crisis Economic Response Task Force meeting and agreed to prepare an emergency treasury bond buyback to address financial instability related to the Middle East conflict. The Bank of Korea conducted outright purchases of 3 trillion won in treasury bonds, marking the largest operation of its kind, while officials stated that the buyback program is ready for immediate use if needed. This was accompanied by cautious signals from government officials, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed momentum signals as technical support holds and correction risk rises

On the technical front, USD/SEK trades above both the SMA-20 and SMA-50 while nearly matching the SMA-200, highlighting bullish momentum in the short and medium term but a potential inflection at the long-term average. The Ichimoku Kijun on the daily chart provides immediate support at 9.2480 kr. Momentum indicators are mixed: ADX on D1 is strong but only modestly directional, MACD is in a daily buy stance, and RSI remains in buy territory but near overbought. Stoch RSI gives a strong sell and CCI is overbought, revealing correction risk. BBP suggests buyer dominance intraday, but daily price action is negative and close to the bottom of today’s range, as renewed selling emerged after the open. The Awesome Oscillator matches the daily uptrend, but divergent oscillators and weaker momentum hint at a near-term standoff between buyers and sellers.

Sideways bias likely as breakout risks temper bullish outlook

For the next five trading days, USD/SEK is expected to move within a typical weekly volatility band of 9.1300–9.3800 kr, with the range centered near current values. The probability of price increase remains high (over 80%), with a decline seen as less likely per weekly RSI and ADX signals. The baseline scenario favors a sideways move within the 9.13–9.38 kr band. An upside breakout above 9.38 kr would signal a further bullish wave, while a drop below 9.13 kr could trigger fresh bearish momentum. The overall bias remains cautiously constructive but subject to further short-term corrections.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/SEK short- and medium-term momentum as bullish, but notes mixed signals with correction risks. He highlights that prices are close to a major average, and oscillator divergence could trigger volatility. The analyst remains cautious as daily action stays under selling pressure and momentum weakens. "My stance is defensive — I expect sideways movement in the 9.1300–9.3800 kr band, and will only turn bullish above 9.38 kr."

Earlier, analysts noted that while USD/SEK exhibited medium- and long-term bullish momentum, persistent overbought indicators presented the risk of a short-term correction or consolidation. The latest signals of mixed momentum and a pivotal technical setup now highlight 9.2480 kr as a critical support to monitor for directional confirmation in the days ahead.
