Fiscal credibility questioned as policy focus shifts to Tisza plan

Standard Chartered has underscored the importance of Hungary's fiscal outlook by highlighting the Tisza government's 2027 budget and new medium-term fiscal plan as pivotal for the credibility of the country’s fiscal path and forint stability. This analysis, as reported by FXStreet, has drawn market attention to Hungary's policy trajectory and its potential implications for currency risk perception. Ongoing scrutiny of fiscal developments serves as a key backdrop for recent moves in the USD/HUF pair.

Downward momentum persists as technical resistance meets weak signals

USD/HUF is trading below the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 timeframe, while maintaining a position above the longer-term MA-200, indicating a technical structure with near-term resistance and underlying longer-term support. The Ichimoku Kijun is positioned at Ft325.812, acting as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators show persistent weakness: both MACD and ADX confirm a sell bias, RSI and CCI remain within their sell zones, and Stochastic RSI is neutral, pointing to limited relief from current selling pressure. Bull/Bear Power indicates sellers are controlling intraday action, while the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral.

Lower break risk rises as consolidation outlook dominates

Over the next two to three trading days, USD/HUF is likely to range between Ft322.7147 and Ft325.9581, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward breakout is low at 21%, with downside risk more pronounced given the technical setup. The primary scenario anticipates consolidation between the recent support and resistance boundaries. A decisive bullish move would require a break above Ft325.812, while a breach below the lower bound would confirm renewed bearish momentum.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, notes that USD/HUF remains under pressure, with weak technical momentum and continued scrutiny of Hungary’s fiscal path. He believes that the market’s attitude is shaped by both cautious institutional sentiment and persistent sell signals on major indicators. Kharitonov sees limited room for upside as long as the price stays below Ft325.812 and the fiscal outlook remains under watch. "Until we see either a bullish breakout above immediate resistance or concrete fiscal improvement, I remain cautious and expect further consolidation within the current range."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/HUF was supported by bullish momentum and technical strength amid improving liquidity conditions in Hungary. The current environment, however, signals waning upside and heightened downside risk, making the pair’s reaction to fiscal developments and the Ft325.812 resistance level critical for short-term direction.
