Highlights

USD/IDR is trading below short- and medium-term moving averages, but remains above the longer-term trend indicator.
Momentum and oscillator signals indicate mild oversold conditions, bearish pressure dominates intraday with sellers in control.
In the next five sessions, the pair is expected to consolidate between Rp17,488 and Rp17,678, with a 67% probability of further downside.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that USD/IDR is struggling to hold above short- and medium-term moving averages. He sees the mild oversold signals, together with persistent selling, as a sign that downside risks are not yet exhausted. Kharitonov highlights the lack of supportive news, which, combined with mixed technicals, could accelerate further weakness if the 200-day average fails. The analyst also flags that sellers are firmly in control intraday and that the probability of further declines is high. "Unless new positive drivers emerge or resistance at Rp17,593 is reclaimed, I believe the pair faces deeper pressure toward Rp17,488 and possibly below."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, observes that despite short-term selling, the bullish long-term structure of USD/IDR remains intact above its 200-day average. He sees the absence of negative news and the current consolidation as an opportunity for renewed buying interest. Karapetjanc is confident that any dip toward Rp17,488 may attract buyers as markets recalibrate for potential upside. "With the backdrop of resilient long-term support, I expect further growth scenarios to materialize if Rp17,593 is cleared in the coming sessions."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees USD/IDR at a turning point after slipping below key short-term averages. He notes that while momentum is weak, mild oversold signals could spark tactical countertrend trades if support at Rp17,488 holds. Mehta considers a brief bullish breakout possible if resistance at Rp17,593 is breached. "A consolidation phase is likely, but I would watch for contrarian entries near oversold levels or on a clear close above resistance."

Bearish pressure persists as major indicators flash oversold signals

USD/IDR is trading below the 20-day (Rp17,732) and 50-day (Rp17,866) moving averages, signaling ongoing short- and medium-term pressure from sellers. The pair remains above the 200-day (Rp17,431) average, which preserves a bullish long-term structure. It is currently navigating near-term resistance at Rp17,593 and support at Rp17,556. Momentum indicators are mixed: MACD and RSI point to weakness, with the RSI at 42.5 (Sell) and CCI at -84.4 (Sell), indicating mild oversold conditions. The ADX signals a Buy, Stochastic RSI is neutral, and BBP at -19.2 marks sellers dominating intraday with an 'Oversold' signal. Intraday volatility is at 0.79%, reflecting renewed downside pressure after a weak open.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/IDR was under persistent selling pressure, with technical barriers reinforcing a bearish tone. The current article reinforces this view, as renewed downside momentum dominates trading and highlights Rp17,488 as a critical support level to monitor for further weakness.
