Highlights

SGD/IDR is trading below short- and medium-term moving averages but remains above the long-term average, indicating near-term pressure within a longer-term bullish trend.
Momentum indicators are mostly bearish with MACD, ADX, RSI, and CCI showing selling pressure and oversold conditions, yet intraday Bull/Bear Power remains positive.
Expected five-day price range is Rp13,772 to Rp13,911, with a 78% probability of a downward move and forecast consolidation near current levels.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical selling pressure dominating SGD/IDR as it trades below major short- and medium-term moving averages. He notes strong selling momentum, with negative signals evident from MACD, ADX, and key oscillators. The absence of supportive news further undermines sentiment and leaves the pair vulnerable. Kharitonov highlights that only the distant 200-day average offers structural support, which increases downside risks. "Without new positive catalysts, I see SGD/IDR at continued risk of testing lower support zones."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, maintains a constructive view for SGD/IDR despite current losses. He emphasizes the bullish structure remains intact above the 200-day moving average, suggesting longer-term trend strength. Karapetjanc believes the volatility band and residual intraday buying create multiple potential setups for active traders. In his view, the current setback is temporary in an otherwise resilient market. "Further growth remains likely if resistance at Rp13,843 is broken — the market continues to offer tactical opportunities."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, interprets the sideways consolidation as a chance for tactical entries. He observes divergence between oversold Stochastic RSI and positive Bull/Bear Power, hinting at a possible short-term reversal. Mehta notes that a break of either Rp13,843 or Rp13,772 could trigger momentum in either direction. "A potential breakout above resistance could attract contrarian traders in the coming sessions."

Bearish momentum persists amid short-term downside and oversold signals

SGD/IDR is trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages at Rp13,944 and Rp13,951, but remains above the longer-term 200-day moving average at Rp13,632. This positioning indicates short- and medium-term downside pressure, while the longer-term outlook remains bullish due to the alignment of the 50-day above the 200-day moving average. Immediate resistance is seen at Rp13,843 with support at Rp13,772. Momentum indicators, including MACD and ADX, suggest strong selling activity. The RSI and CCI show a selling bias, Stochastic RSI is at zero marking oversold conditions, and Bull/Bear Power is positive, hinting at residual intraday buying despite the dominant bearish tone.

Earlier, analysts noted that SGD/IDR had shifted to a downside momentum setup, reflecting persistent bearish pressure despite underlying longer-term resilience. The current analysis reinforces this outlook, highlighting the importance of the Rp13,843 resistance level as a key inflection point for any potential change in near-term direction.
