The projection ## EUR/SEK levels to watch before the Riksbank decision Drawn from real 15-minute candles: the nearest standing high and low, where stops rest. A: the spike runs the high, closes back, and the low is next. B: the mirror. Where to look, not a promise: some days one plays and some days neither does. Vote on which one plays: it is settled on the 15-minute candles of the 24 hours after the announcement. Last price 10.95474. Levels are as of the candle that closed Nov 3, 2026, 10:15 AM UTC UTC; they are not updated until the site is rebuilt, and the vote is settled on the map as it stands at the announcement. This is where to look, not advice.

A hawkish surprise (a bigger hike, a smaller cut, a hold when a cut was expected) tends to push EUR/SEK down, because SEK is its second currency; a dovish one pushes it up.
