Highlights

SGD/IDR maintains bullish momentum, trading above key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages across timeframes.
Momentum indicators including MACD, ADX, RSI, Stochastic RSI, CCI, and Bull/Bear Power all indicate overbought conditions and strong buyer dominance.
The pair is expected to trade between Rp13,873 and Rp14,094 over the next five sessions with more than 80% probability of an upward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, emphasizes growing technical risks for SGD/IDR despite underlying bullish momentum. He notes the overbought readings across RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI increase the risk of a deeper retracement. Kharitonov highlights the lack of supportive news, further weakening the credibility of the recent rally. The fact that the pair closed near intraday lows and volatility is near 1% signals caution. "Without fundamental or sentiment confirmation, I see a higher probability of sharp technical corrections ahead," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees strong structural momentum sustaining the bullish case for SGD/IDR. He points to the positive alignment of the 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages and a tight consolidation above key support as evidence. Karapetjanc believes the technical setup offers multiple breakout opportunities with limited downside. He remains constructive, even in the absence of news, as indicators still favor buyers. "With the bullish structure intact and signals aligned, I expect further growth if Rp13,997 breaks," he states.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, is cautious on SGD/IDR’s immediate prospects. He sees the overbought momentum as excessive, especially since no positive news accompanies the recent move. Dele warns sentiment is stretched and short-term pullbacks are likely. "Current enthusiasm looks fragile without macro or news support for further gains," he remarks.

Bullish structure prevails as overbought signals and intraday pressure collide

SGD/IDR is trading above its 20-day (Rp13,950), 50-day (Rp13,951), and 200-day (Rp13,691) moving averages, showing bullish momentum across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The near-term ceiling is set at Rp13,997 and the immediate support is at the Ichimoku Kijun of Rp13,971, with the MA-50 remaining above the MA-200 in confirmation of an ongoing bullish bias. Momentum signals are strong: MACD and ADX both point to "Buy" signals, while RSI is firmly in overbought territory at 71.75. The Stochastic RSI (100), CCI (183.15), and BBP (137.8) all indicate overbought conditions, with BBP confirming buyers have the upper hand intraday. The Awesome Oscillator also supports continued upward bias. Despite this persistent bullish structure, the pair closed near today's low, reflecting some intraday pressure following an earlier upside gap and a daily volatility reading of 0.99%.

Earlier, analysts noted that sustained bullish momentum was supporting the Singapore Dollar against the Indonesian Rupiah, underpinned by favorable technical signals. The latest pullback highlights active overbought pressures, but with bullish structure intact, market participants should monitor the Rp13,997 resistance for signals of renewed upside momentum in the coming sessions.
