While the expected no change in Bank Indonesia’s monetary policy and challenges for China, amid Biden Presidency, could weigh on the IDR, which in turn can propel the quote towards a 50-day SMA level of 14,120.
However, the quote’s upside past-14,120 will be challenged first by the weekly resistance line and then a falling trend line from September 2020, respectively around 14,170 and 14,300.
On the contrary, a surprise announcement will have to break the stated immediate support near 14,000 to direct USD/IDR sellers toward an ascending support line from November, at 13,895 now.
In a case where the USD/IDR bears dominate past-13,895, the previous yearly low near 13,725 will be in focus.
