Highlights

The Hungarian forint gained against the euro at the start of the week, showing resilience across major currency pairs.
Reduced geopolitical market concerns contributed to steadier regional trading and underpinned forint stability versus the euro.

Forint resilience strengthens as easing geopolitics boosts regional flows

The Hungarian forint experienced a moderate strengthening against the euro on Monday, with interbank market data from Penzcentrum highlighting intraday EUR/HUF fluctuations as investors favored HUF. This improvement was also reflected at the start of the week, as Economx noted that the forint gained ground compared to major currencies, providing a firm backdrop for regional trading. Consistent figures from Privatbankar, Profitline, and Mfor point to continued forint resilience, helped further by easing geopolitical market concerns, setting a context for underlying stability in the currency pair.

Overbought signals raise pullback risk despite bullish technical support

On the technical side, EUR/HUF is holding above its MA-20 and MA-50 on the working chart and remains above the MA-200 on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun at Ft362.399 acts as immediate support, while the expected short-term range is between Ft362.096 and Ft365.736. Among momentum indicators, MACD and Awesome Oscillator show neutral readings, while ADX suggests a sell bias. RSI remains neutral, but Stoch RSI and CCI both register in the overbought zone, increasing the risk of a near-term pullback despite the ongoing buyer dominance reflected in a positive Bull/Bear Power reading of 0.488.

Consolidation expected as upside bias hinges on resistance breakout

Over the next one to two trading days, the most likely scenario is continued consolidation for EUR/HUF within a volatility band of Ft362.096 to Ft365.736. There is a 60% probability of an upward move, potentially leading to further gains if Ft365.736 is breached. However, should the price fall below Ft362.096, the risk of a downside extension would increase, though this is considered less likely given current conditions.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees the forint’s latest gains as grounded in both improving sentiment and a stable macro backdrop. He highlights that Monday’s trading confirms resilient HUF demand, aided by reduced geopolitical risk and steady flows. The analyst believes EUR/HUF will likely consolidate, but an upside extension cannot be ruled out if Ft365.736 is surpassed. Technical support around Ft362.399 provides a floor, while fundamentals and sentiment trends remain supportive. "With momentum intact and risk appetite returning, I see a constructive outlook for the forint as long as confidence persists."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/HUF was under ongoing pressure but retained underlying support, with technical signals divided on near-term direction. The current technical recovery above key moving averages and the emergence of short-term overbought signals now direct attention to the risk of a pullback toward Ft362.399 as the level to monitor for a potential shift in trend.
