Ongoing appreciation of the forint reflects changing market positioning, with inflows supporting its advance versus the dollar.

Forint inflows rise as market sentiment shifts toward local currency

The Hungarian forint strengthened against the US dollar on Monday, with Penzcentrum and Profitline both reporting increased demand for the local currency. This uptick in forint strength suggests positive inflows or improving sentiment toward the Hungarian currency, which has affected the balance versus the dollar. Additional data from Privátbankár indicates that this appreciation trend has been taking shape since early November, underscoring ongoing shifts in market positioning for USD/HUF.

Overbought signals build as technical support holds

Technically, USD/HUF recently advanced above its MA-20 and MA-50 levels on the hourly chart, with price also holding over the daily MA-200. Immediate support is established at the Ichimoku Kijun level of Ft323.6767, protecting the current trend. Among oscillators, ADX shows a buy bias while MACD is neutral; RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI are all in their overbought zones, indicating that the recent rally may be at risk of a short-term pullback. Bull/Bear Power remains positive at 1.6779, reflecting buyer dominance within the current session.

Short-term upside favored as overbought risk grows

Over the next 2–3 sessions, USD/HUF is expected to trade between Ft325.2501 and Ft328.5189, consistent with typical volatility for the pair. There is a 70% probability of another move upward, with buyers having a greater chance to push the price above the resistance band. However, with multiple oscillators in the overbought range, a break below support could trigger a corrective pullback toward lower levels.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees constructive momentum for the Hungarian forint as ongoing demand and positive sentiment drive strength versus the US dollar. He notes that fundamental and macro trends are aligning with technical signals of buyer dominance. Despite oscillators signaling short-term overbought conditions, the uptrend could persist if support holds. The expert believes the macro backdrop supports further HUF gains in the near term. "Buyers remain in control and I expect continued strength for the Hungarian forint as long as positive flows and sentiment persist."

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/HUF was demonstrating mixed momentum, with near-term resistance offset by a generally bullish long-term structure. The current article builds on this by showing upside continuation supported by technical levels, but highlights that overbought oscillators increase the risk of a corrective move if support at Ft323.6767 fails in coming sessions.
