From the technical point of view the USD/SEK rate should floating inside 6.5500-8.0200 range during the next year (first up then down). But Sweden has the lowest interest rate in Europe (0.25%), so if the central bank decides to start rising the interest rates that can significantly boos the krona, helping it to get to near 6.0000 against the USD and also quite far up against the euro.
