Highlights

USD/IDR maintains a medium- and long-term bullish trend despite a recent short-term momentum loss.
Technical indicators signal ongoing medium-term buying strength, with most momentum tools supporting a potential upside move.
USD/IDR is projected to trade between Rp17,613.30 and Rp18,090.05 over five days, with resistance at Rp17,950 and support near Rp17,844.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees signs of weakening short-term momentum for USD/IDR. He notes that most technical indicators are still biased to the upside, but warns that the lack of any news catalysts limits conviction. Kharitonov highlights oversold readings in the Stochastic RSI, suggesting risk of a short-term pullback. He remains cautious, especially since price is unable to break above resistance near Rp17,950. "Without fresh news support and with mixed technicals, I think traders should reduce exposure and wait for clearer signals at these levels."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the continuing bullish structure in USD/IDR. He points to strong medium- and long-term momentum, with all key weekly signals aligned for more upside. Karapetjanc states the market is positioned for further growth towards Rp18,090, as bullish sentiment remains dominant. "Despite the lack of new headlines, I am confident that the prevailing trend offers another opportunity for buyers in the coming days."

Bullish momentum dominates as MACD outpaces ADX at resistance

Momentum readings from the MACD and ADX on the daily timeframe suggest ongoing medium-term buying strength, with MACD signals appearing stronger than ADX. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows USD/IDR near bullish territory, while Stochastic RSI signals oversold conditions and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) reads as neutral. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) indicates buyers dominate with values firmly in overbought territory, reinforcing that bullish traders still control momentum. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) is neutral and does not currently support the dominant trend. The nearest dynamic support is the Ichimoku Kijun line at Rp17,844.0, with recent price action signaling resistance near the Rp17,900 – Rp17,950 region.

Earlier, analysts noted that sustained downside momentum was dominant in USD/IDR as seller pressure prevailed. The latest signals now indicate a clear shift toward bullish control, making a decisive move above resistance at Rp17,950 the key level to watch for possible upside acceleration in the coming days.
