Rupiah strength as truce-led sentiment shift drives safe-haven outflows

A recent truce between the United States and Iran led to a broad decline in the US dollar, which resulted in gains across Asia-Pacific currencies. The de-escalation of geopolitical risk diminished the appeal of the US dollar as a safe-haven asset, contributing to the relative strength of regional currencies including the Indonesian rupiah. This shift in sentiment has weighed on the USD/IDR rate as market participants adjusted their positions away from the dollar.

Oversold signals intensify as technical resistance holds and sellers dominate

Technically, USD/IDR is trading below the MA-20 at Rp17,767.6 and the MA-50 at Rp17,870.1, while remaining above the MA-200 at Rp17,014.1. The Ichimoku Kijun level stands at Rp17,800.1, acting as immediate resistance. Intraday momentum is negative with MACD and Awesome Oscillator both signaling Sell, and the ADX reading as Neutral. RSI at 29.4, along with Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP, confirms the pair is in oversold territory with strong seller dominance.

Downtrend likelihood elevated as volatility governs short-term consolidation

Over the next two to three trading days, USD/IDR is expected to consolidate within the Rp17,563.2 to Rp17,788.2 range, reflecting typical volatility for the current context. There is a 77% probability that the downtrend will persist, while only a 23% chance exists for an upward move. A breakout above the Kijun resistance would be required to initiate a bullish scenario, whereas a decline below Rp17,563.2 would signal a renewed bearish extension.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees sustained pressure on USD/IDR after the US-Iran truce eased geopolitical tensions. He notes bearish signals dominate, with the pair trading below both MA-20 and MA-50 and most momentum indicators in solid sell territory. The analyst believes the downtrend remains intact as long as resistance at Rp17,800.1 holds. "Until we see a sustained move above the Kijun level, any rebound should be viewed with skepticism and downside risk is likely to persist," he concludes.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/IDR had shifted towards a broadly bullish momentum, supported by continued medium- and long-term uptrends. However, as the current environment now features a pronounced downside bias driven by shifting geopolitical sentiment, traders should closely monitor for a potential technical breakdown below Rp17,563.2, which could accelerate bearish momentum.
