Highlights

USD/HUF maintains a bullish trend across short, medium, and long-term horizons as it trades above key moving averages.
Short-term momentum remains strong with buy signals from major indicators, though intraday selling pressure brings the pair near daily lows.
In the next five trading days, USD/HUF is projected to fluctuate between Ft323.3169 and Ft327.5431, with over 80% probability of upward movement.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the drop in USD/HUF as technical selling against a still-bullish structure. He notes that the pair remains above all key moving averages and that momentum indicators send strong buy signals. Kharitonov is skeptical given the absence of meaningful news and the market's short-term overbought condition. He highlights risk if support at Ft325.0126 fails, as a move lower could intensify amid technical saturation. "Without supportive news flow, I doubt the sustainability of recent gains — caution near resistance at Ft327.1462 is warranted."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, remains confident in the bullish outlook for USD/HUF. He emphasizes the strong alignment of technical indicators and the persistent upside momentum. Despite minor selling pressure, Karapetjanc points out that the bullish structure remains intact, supported by positive moving average trends and robust momentum readings. He expects further growth opportunities if resistance at Ft327.1462 is cleared. "The market offers multiple setups for further upside — I expect a breakout above current highs to trigger a fresh rally."

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, views the current move as lacking conviction in the absence of fresh macro drivers or news. He finds persistent upside momentum notable but questions the durability of the rally. Dele warns that without external catalysts, the risk of a sharp reversal remains. "Sustained gains above Ft327.1462 require stronger macro signals — for now, I remain unconvinced by the momentum alone."

Bullish bias reinforced by strong momentum and overbought risk

USD/HUF trades above its 20-day (Ft323.6472), 50-day (Ft317.7428), and 200-day (Ft317.3484) moving averages, pointing to a bullish technical setup over short, medium, and long horizons. Immediate support is seen at Ft325.0126 and resistance at Ft327.1462, with the positive 50 vs 200-day alignment underscoring upward momentum. Momentum readings are robust: the MACD issues a 'Strong Buy' signal, ADX remains in 'Buy' mode, and the RSI is firmly at 61.756, suggesting ongoing buying pressure. The CCI, at 58.8243, echoes this, while Stochastic RSI at 21.9885 indicates further upside potential before overbought territory is reached. Bull/Bear Power at 2.0504 highlights intraday buyer dominance, but the 'Overbought' rating warns of possible short-term saturation.

Earlier, analysts noted that bearish pressures had started to outweigh prior bullish momentum in USD/HUF, with short-term downside risks emerging. The latest technical signals now point to renewed upward momentum, making a break above Ft327.1462 the key level to watch for fresh gains in the days ahead.
