Highlights

Hungary is implementing front-loaded fiscal tightening to lower its budget deficit below 3% of GDP by 2030 and support potential euro adoption in 2032.
The National Bank of Hungary is holding its base rate steady at 5.5%, but negative real rates may soon emerge due to adjusted inflation.
USD/HUF trades in strong bullish territory with momentum indicators favoring buyers, and the expected next-day range is Ft325.5499 to Ft328.8217.

Forint outlook shifts as fiscal tightening counters rate-related uncertainty

Hungary's finance minister has outlined a front-loaded budget strategy focused on spending cuts, with the goal of reducing the fiscal deficit below 3% of GDP by 2030, paving the way for potential euro adoption in 2032, according to Bradenton. This signals increased fiscal discipline and could enhance the appeal of the forint by reducing medium-term supply risk. Meanwhile, the National Bank of Hungary has kept its base rate at 5.5%, but seasonally adjusted inflation may soon lead to negative real interest rates, which could temper support for the forint, according to FXStreet. Fiscal policy updates, including a government target for a 2.8% deficit by 2030 as referenced by ING, reinforce a commitment to macroeconomic stability but highlight ongoing balancing forces impacting USD/HUF.

Overbought signals emerge as USD/HUF extends rally above key supports

USD/HUF has surpassed the MA-20 at Ft325.4342 and MA-50 at Ft324.9457, while trading well above the long-term MA-200 at Ft317.012. The Ichimoku Kijun level at Ft325.5122 marks the closest support zone. Momentum indicators reflect broad buyer strength: MACD and ADX both issue buy signals, the Awesome Oscillator is positive, and RSI is elevated at 63.87. However, both Stoch RSI and CCI are in overbought territory, and Bull/Bear Power confirms buyer dominance. Price action is near the session high on low intraday volatility, but overbought signals suggest some risk of pullback or loss of upside momentum.

Tight trading range expected as bullish bias faces resistance test

For the next trading day, USD/HUF is projected to consolidate within a Ft325.5499 to Ft328.8217 band, consistent with typical volatility. The probability of an upward move is relatively high at 77%, with a 23% likelihood of a downside reversal. A bullish extension would require a break above Ft328.8217 and could drive further gains, while a move below support at Ft325.5499 would raise the risk of a corrective pullback. The baseline expectation is for stability inside this trading corridor.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/HUF showing resilience as buyers remain in control above key averages. He notes that Hungary’s commitment to fiscal discipline boosts sentiment around the forint, but warns that real rate risks and overbought technicals could limit further gains. Analyst prefers a cautious stance given the mixed backdrop and risk of a pullback. "Base case is consolidation unless Ft328.8217 is broken — patience is warranted here."

Previously it was reported that USD/HUF maintained a broadly bullish technical structure underpinned by positive momentum signals. The latest analysis strengthens this view, as sustained buyer momentum and firm policy signals suggest traders should monitor for potential volatility if the upper resistance at Ft328.8217 is decisively breached.
