Rupiah gains traction as Chinese PMI and fiscal policy boost sentiment

According to FXStreet, the Indonesian rupiah strengthened against the US dollar for a second straight session, supported by improved market sentiment after robust Chinese PMI figures and explicit assurances regarding Indonesia's fiscal policy. These developments prompted increased investor confidence in the rupiah, encouraging inflows into Indonesian financial markets. The combination of positive external data and domestic fiscal signals has contributed to a firmer IDR backdrop, putting pressure on the EUR/IDR cross despite the supportive macro tone.

Sustained bear signals as technicals confirm downside momentum

On the hourly chart, EUR/IDR remains below the SMA-20 at Rp20,303 and SMA-50 at Rp20,361. On the daily chart, it continues to trade under the SMA-200 at Rp20,284. The Ichimoku Kijun on the daily timeframe stands at Rp20,307, acting as the closest resistance. MACD and Awesome Oscillator both show strong sell signals, while ADX also indicates selling momentum. RSI sits at 44.13 (sell), but Stochastic RSI and CCI are neutral. Bull/Bear Power recently showed a brief period of buyer strength but without strong conviction.

Sideways bias expected as downside risk outweighs rebound prospects

Over the next two to three trading days, EUR/IDR is likely to remain in a consolidation phase within the narrow band of Rp20,083 to Rp20,285, reflecting typical volatility for the pair under current conditions. The probability of a move higher is rated very low, while downside risk is elevated. A bullish breakout would require a sustained move above resistance at Rp20,307, while a decline below Rp20,083 would reinforce further weakening. The baseline scenario favors sideways action inside the indicated range.

Anton Kharitonov, financial markets analyst at Traders Union, sees that fundamental and sentiment drivers continue to favor the Indonesian rupiah in the near term. The EUR/IDR pair remains technically weak below all key moving averages, with strong sell signals on several momentum indicators. Kharitonov believes that sideways to lower movement is most likely as long as macroeconomic and fiscal support for the rupiah persists. "Unless EUR/IDR recaptures Rp20,307, there is no technical case for a rebound in the current environment."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/IDR was under sustained short- and medium-term selling pressure, with mixed technical signals suggesting weak directional conviction. The current analysis confirms the prevailing downside bias as technical momentum aligns with improved rupiah fundamentals, making a decisive move below Rp20,083 the primary risk to watch in the near term.
