Higher rupiah deposit rates and telecom fees shift market flows

The Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) has raised its guaranteed deposit interest rates by 25 basis points for rupiah deposits at commercial and rural banks, with the maximum guaranteed rate for commercial banks now set at 3.75 percent, according to Indonesia Investments. This move boosts the appeal of holding Indonesian rupiah deposits and incentivizes capital retention in the local currency, which can weigh on EUR/IDR flows and dampen demand for euros in the domestic market. Meanwhile, Indonesian telecommunications firms are contesting new government-mandated biometric SIM verification fees ahead of a nationwide rollout, potentially introducing additional regulatory costs to IDR-based sectors, as reported by Biometricupdate. Secondary factors include Indonesia’s drop in the 2026 IMD Competitiveness Ranking and ongoing policy monitoring by the European Central Bank, which frame the broader environment for the pair.

Bearish momentum builds as technical signals turn negative

On the H1 timeframe, EUR/IDR trades below both the MA-20 and MA-50, set at Rp20,401, while still holding above the MA-200 at Rp19,932 on the daily chart. The Ichimoku Kijun level at Rp20,458 marks immediate resistance. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 42.18, aligning with a sell signal, and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is in oversold territory. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Average Directional Index (ADX), and Awesome Oscillator all show negative momentum. Stochastic RSI is neutral, while Bull/Bear Power indicates seller dominance, although recently challenged. Price closed near today’s low amid low volatility, with a minor downward gap of 11.85 recorded.

Bearish bias persists as consolidation favors downside risk

Looking ahead to the next 2–3 trading days, EUR/IDR is expected to consolidate between Rp20,208 and Rp20,411, with typical volatility contained within this range. The likelihood of an upward breakout remains low given current market dynamics, while downward movement toward the lower band is considerably more probable. A sustained upward reversal would likely require a decisive move above the Kijun resistance, whereas a bearish scenario could see the pair retest and potentially breach near-term support.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the LPS interest rate hike as a strong fundamental factor underpinning the rupiah in the near term. He believes capital incentives favor IDR retention, dampening EUR/IDR upside even as technicals point to a bearish bias below key averages. Macro sentiment remains steady despite weak competitiveness data, while regulatory actions set the market tone. The analyst expects EUR/IDR to consolidate within the projected range, with modest downside risk. "If the Kijun level holds as resistance, sellers remain in control short term, but I am constructive on the IDR as long as domestic policy continues to support local liquidity."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/IDR was experiencing short-term bearish pressure within a broader bullish structure, driven by mixed momentum signals and policy uncertainties. Recent developments—particularly the increase in Indonesia’s guaranteed deposit rates and firm negative momentum across multiple technical indicators—reinforce the downside scenario, making vigilance around the Rp20,208 support level critical for market participants in the days ahead.
