Euro ERM-2 prospects spur FX flows as fiscal credibility assessed

Hungary's central bank Deputy Governor Zoltan Kurali indicated that the country should consider prompt entry into the euro area’s ERM-2 mechanism if the government's fiscal plans expected next month are judged credible, according to Bloomberg. This central bank signal raises the prospect of structural changes in Hungary's FX regime, triggering market interest as participants weigh the potential timeline and terms for euro adoption. In the meantime, these comments increase focus on Hungary's fiscal credibility, with FX flows responding to the evolving policy outlook.

Technical momentum skews bullish amid firm support and mild signals

Technically, USD/HUF trades above the MA-20 at Ft323.26, MA-50 at Ft323.43, and MA-200 at Ft317.05, demonstrating short- through long-term support beneath the market. The Ichimoku Kijun at Ft322.68 offers immediate support. MACD shows a buy while ADX remains neutral, and the RSI at 52.73 highlights a mild buyer tilt. Both Stoch RSI and CCI are neutral, indicating a lack of extreme conditions. Bull/Bear Power generates a strong buy signal, and the Awesome Oscillator retains a positive stance, underscoring intraday buyer activity.

Tight range seen as upward bias limits downside risk

Over the next two to three trading days, USD/HUF is expected to move within a Ft322.91 to Ft327.17 range, reflecting typical volatility for the pair at current levels. There is a very high probability of an upward scenario, with limited risk of a downward break. Baseline expectations are for price to consolidate within this corridor; a breakout above Ft327.17 could extend gains, while a slide below Ft322.68 may attract renewed selling.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees some support for USD/HUF driven by technical momentum and recent central bank commentary. He believes that signals from Hungary's central bank are drawing focus to fiscal credibility rather than clear FX regime change in the short term. Price is likely to remain in consolidation mode, with technical supports holding unless meaningful news breaks. "Until USD/HUF moves decisively out of the Ft322.91–Ft327.17 range, I remain cautious and would avoid new positions here."

Earlier, analysts noted that sustained technical momentum was supporting a bullish outlook for USD/HUF. The latest developments—particularly the central bank’s comments on potential euro area alignment—add a new dimension to the pair’s outlook, making upcoming policy signals and any move outside the Ft322.91–Ft327.17 range critical for short-term positioning.
