Downside bias dominates as rangebound consolidation expected near term
Over the next two to three trading sessions, GBP/HUF is likely to fluctuate within a volatility band of Ft420.3 to Ft426.14. Given the current setup, there is a 59% probability of a move lower, while the up scenario is less likely at 41%. Consolidation in a sideways range is the base case. A break above Ft424.25 could open room for renewed upside, while a fall below Ft420.3 would increase downside risks.
