Highlights

Bank Indonesia held its policy rate at 5.75% and raised the overnight deposit facility to 5%, sustaining a stable rate environment for the Rupiah.
Phased reserve requirement ratio cuts have been announced to increase banking sector liquidity as authorities seek to address ongoing currency pressure.
AUD/IDR trades below key short- and medium-term moving averages with oscillators pointing to buy signals, and price projected to stay in the Rp12,256 to Rp12,686 range in the near term.

Policy tightening and liquidity moves as currency remains pressured

Bank Indonesia kept its main policy rate steady at 5.75%, maintaining a stable interest rate environment intended to prevent further depreciation of the Indonesian Rupiah, according to Businesstimes Com. The central bank also raised its overnight deposit facility rate to 5.00%, a move aimed at boosting onshore liquidity retention and discouraging capital outflows. In addition, phased cuts to the reserve requirement ratio were announced to increase liquidity in the banking sector. These collective measures reflect continued efforts to stabilize the currency amid persistent external pressures, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed buy signals amid resistance at short moving averages

Technically, AUD/IDR is positioned below the MA-20 at Rp12,673 and the MA-50 at Rp12,599, while maintaining support above the MA-200 at Rp12,431. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at Rp12,260 as the immediate support level. MACD provides a strong buy signal, with RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI also indicating buying conditions, though Bull/Bear Power is in overbought territory. ADX remains neutral, indicating a lack of strong trend momentum.

Sideways trading expected unless key support or resistance breaks

Over the next 2–3 sessions, AUD/IDR is expected to trade within the Rp12,256 to Rp12,686 band, reflecting typical volatility relative to the current level. The probability of an upward move is considered very high, while the risk of a downward reversal is low. The most likely scenario is sideways trading within this range. A bullish case would require a decisive break above resistance levels, whereas a bearish scenario could unfold if support at the Ichimoku Kijun fails.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees recent policy moves from Bank Indonesia creating a supportive macro backdrop for the Rupiah. He believes that decisive actions on liquidity and rates address currency risks, while technical signals remain favorable for AUD/IDR stability. The analyst stays confident in short-term resilience despite external pressures. "I expect sideways trading with a high probability of upward moves, as central bank measures show real commitment to currency stability."

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent bullish momentum in AUD/IDR was tempered by emerging overbought signals and rising selling pressures. The current shift below key moving averages alongside neutral trend momentum suggests that downside risk now warrants closer attention, with immediate focus on whether support at the Ichimoku Kijun can prevent a further decline.
