Euro vs Indonesian rupiah drops 0.71% today

Highlights

The Indonesian rupiah hit a record low of 17,658 per US dollar, forcing the central bank to intervene further in currency markets.
Bank Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves have dropped by US$10 billion year-to-date, raising concern over its ability to support the rupiah.
EUR/IDR remains in a bullish long-term trend above key supports, with a five-day range of Rp 20,350–Rp 20,700 expected despite near-term profit-taking risks.

Currency strain intensifies as interventions and political scrutiny mount

The Indonesian rupiah reached a historic low of 17,658 per US dollar on Monday, prompting Bank Indonesia to undertake additional currency interventions in an effort to stabilize the market. The central bank governor reported that foreign exchange reserves have decreased by approximately US$10 billion this year, highlighting the strain on the country's ability to defend its currency. These developments have led to calls in Parliament for the governor's resignation, amid official statements emphasizing that economic fundamentals remain strong, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Upward momentum persists amid overbought signals and mixed oscillators

On the technical front, the current price of EUR/IDR is above the SMA-20 (Rp 20,404.10), SMA-50 (Rp 20,094.24), and SMA-200 (Rp 19,718.32). The Ichimoku Kijun sits at Rp 20,379.95 and now acts as immediate support just below the current market level. The daily MACD and ADX continue to show buy signals, indicating persistent upward momentum. However, the RSI at 73.67, CCI at 145.23, and BBP all suggest overbought conditions, while the Stoch RSI is neutral on the daily chart but becomes oversold on shorter timeframes, indicating possible near-term divergence and potential for short-term pullbacks.

Sideways consolidation expected as overbought risk tempers upside

Looking over the next five trading days, the pair is likely to consolidate within a volatility band between Rp 20,350 and Rp 20,700. The probability of an upward move remains high, but with overbought signals present, the baseline scenario favors a sideways consolidation in this corridor. Should the price decisively break above Rp 20,700, further buying could target new resistance levels. Conversely, a loss of support at Rp 20,350 could see the pair retreat towards Rp 20,200 before buyers potentially re-enter.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the EUR/IDR pair maintaining firm momentum after the rupiah's historic weakness and heavy central bank intervention. He views fundamentals as broadly supportive for the euro, especially as Bank Indonesia’s measures signal policy limits and have not yet eased currency pressures. Karapetjanc believes that with persistent downside sentiment toward the rupiah and technicals still favoring buyers despite overbought conditions, consolidation with an upward bias is likely. "As long as the pair stays above Rp 20,350, I expect buyers to remain in control, with chances for further gains if resistance at Rp 20,700 is broken."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/IDR was demonstrating strong bullish momentum supported by central bank intervention, but cautioned that overbought conditions warranted vigilance for potential market reversals. The latest developments—marked by further interventions, political scrutiny, and heightened volatility—underscore the need to closely monitor the Rp 20,350 support level, as a sustained break below it may accelerate downside risks despite the pair's retained resilience above key technical averages.
