Central bank hikes rates amid falling reserves and rupiah decline

Indonesia's central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% in an unscheduled move, seeking to support the rupiah following pronounced depreciation against foreign currencies. The monetary tightening was prompted by a $1.3 billion decline in foreign exchange reserves in May to $144.9 billion, marking the lowest level in nearly two years and underscoring ongoing pressure on Indonesia’s external position. The central bank explicitly acted outside of its regular policy schedule to address the rupiah's 9% loss since the start of 2026, aiming to stabilize the currency and manage inflation within official medium-term targets, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum dominates as multiple indicators signal weakness

On the technical front, EUR/IDR is trading below the MA-20 at Rp20,691.69 and MA-50 at Rp20,785.60 on the hourly chart, while still holding above the long-term MA-200 at Rp19,849.48. Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun line at Rp20,698.15 and near-term support is seen at Rp20,473.99. Momentum indicators remain negative, as evidenced by weak MACD and ADX signals. RSI reads 37.73, with both CCI and Stoch RSI in oversold territory, and the Awesome Oscillator aligning with a bearish setup. BBP briefly points toward buyer activity, but this is outweighed by overall negative momentum.

Limited upside expected as price action stays rangebound

Over the next few trading days, EUR/IDR is likely to fluctuate within the Rp20,473.99 to Rp20,715.25 range, with volatility remaining modest relative to recent sessions. A sustained breakout above Rp20,698.15 would be required to initiate a bullish scenario, while a close below Rp20,473.99 would add to downside risk. The base expectation is for price action to remain constrained within this typical trading band, with market momentum currently favoring the lower end of the range.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the emergency rate hike by Indonesia’s central bank as a defensive but necessary move amid sustained rupiah weakness. He believes technical momentum remains decisively negative, with EUR/IDR unable to reclaim key short-term averages and bearish signals dominating. As long as price action holds below Rp20,698.15, the risk bias remains tilted to the downside. "Until we see a clear reversal above resistance, I remain cautious and expect a grind toward support."

Earlier, analysts noted that while EUR/IDR showed an overall bullish structure, mixed signals and near-term selling pressure warranted caution for potential retracements. With the central bank's surprise rate hike intensifying rupiah stabilization efforts and technical momentum firmly negative, market participants should be alert for a decisive move outside the Rp20,473.99–Rp20,715.25 band as a catalyst for the next trend.
