Highlights

USD/HUF is trading below the 20-day moving average but remains above the 50-day and 200-day, indicating near-term resistance but ongoing medium- and long-term bullish trends.
Momentum indicators are mixed, with strong MACD momentum but a weakening trend from ADX, and Stochastic RSI signaling oversold conditions despite sellers dominating intraday.
USD/HUF is expected to remain sideways in a Ft320.2065 to Ft325.8415 range over the next 5 days, with a 65% probability of an upward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights the recent drop in USD/HUF and notes that technicals indicate persistent short-term selling pressure. He points out the inability to hold above the 20-day moving average and neutral momentum readings. Kharitonov stresses that the medium- and long-term bullish backdrop offers little reassurance for immediate gains. The lack of relevant news further removes potential positive catalysts. "In my view, sellers remain in control until we see a clear break above Ft324.0303 — caution is warranted here."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the pullback in USD/HUF as a corrective move within an overall bullish framework. He underlines that the pair is still above key medium- and long-term averages, signaling strong underlying demand. Absence of adverse macro news removes risks to bullish sentiment. Karapetjanc comments, "With short-term oversold signals and a resilient structure, I expect further growth opportunities as USD/HUF targets Ft325.8415 in the coming sessions."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, notes the mixed technical picture for USD/HUF. He observes potential for a bounce from oversold Stochastic RSI readings but cautions that downside risk persists if Ft322.6434 fails. "A tactical long could be considered if momentum turns upward above Ft324.0303, but downside protection remains essential in this range."

Mixed momentum as price tests support above long-term trend

USD/HUF is trading beneath the 20-day moving average at Ft325.9757, while holding above the 50-day (Ft322.6434) and 200-day (Ft316.354) levels. This pattern indicates near-term resistance and persistent short-term selling pressure, despite underlying bullish sentiment in the medium and long term. Resistance is seen at Ft324.0303, while support is established at Ft322.6434. Momentum indicators are mixed: MACD remains strongly positive, but the ADX points to a weakening trend. Both RSI and CCI are neutral, while the Stochastic RSI is in the oversold zone, highlighting potential for a short-term rebound. However, intraday momentum favors sellers as shown by BBP.

Earlier, analysts noted that downside risks had intensified for USD/HUF, even as longer-term bullish momentum remained a theme. The current analysis adds nuance, highlighting a mixed technical outlook and pointing to Ft324.0303 and Ft322.6434 as key levels that could define the next breakout direction.
