Highlights
- USD/HUF maintains bullish momentum above key moving averages, with the trend structure long-term bearish.
- Buyers dominate in the session as price nears the daily high, but short-term indicators warn of potential overbought conditions.

Bullish momentum persists as resistance approaches and signals diverge
USD/HUF is currently trading above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages (Ft314.4937, Ft314.6477, and Ft316.986, respectively), indicating continued bullish momentum across short, medium, and long-term trends. The next resistance is seen at the near-term ceiling of Ft319.1575, with the 200-day moving average acting as the immediate floor at Ft316.986. However, the long-term trend structure remains bearish based on the MA-50 versus MA-200 alignment. Momentum signals for the pair are mixed: MACD supports upward movement, while the ADX remains neutral, indicating a lack of strong directional trend. The RSI points to a mild buy signal, and both the CCI and Awesome Oscillator are also aligned to the upside. In contrast, Stochastic RSI issues a strong sell warning, suggesting short-term overbought conditions. Bull/Bear Power at 3.7463 confirms buyer strength, but the overbought forecast warns of potential near-term overheating. Buyer activity is persisting toward highs, reflecting modest intraday volatility.
Earlier, analysts noted that USD/HUF maintained a bullish technical structure as rising US yields and monetary policy shifts supported dollar strength against the forint. The latest data bolsters this outlook, highlighting persistent short-term buying momentum and signaling that a decisive move above Ft319.1575 could shift the prevailing sideways trend into a more sustained breakout.
