393.89Our preference: the upside prevails as long as 393.87 is support.
the downside breakout of 393.87 would call for 393.21 and 392.81.

There are currently not so many arguments in favor of the forint.
The Hungarian forint has recovered somewhat from its recent low while world markets were in turmoil.
Thursday's inflation in Hungary surprised slightly to the upside with a rise from 3.7% to 4.1%, but there is a bigger surprise here compared to the National Bank of Hungary's (NBH) forecast of 3.8% year-on-year, ING’s FX strategist Frantisek Taborsky notes.
The National Bank of Hungary delivered a 25bp rate cut to 6.75% yesterday, bringing it closer to its CEE peers again, ING’s FX strategist Frantisek Taborsky notes.
Today's meeting of the National Bank of Hungary (NBH) is the main event of the week in the CEE region.
In addition to the general development linked to its high beta with euro movements, today's interest rate decision by the Hungarian central bank (MNB) is also of interest for the Forint.
