Spot USD/IDR trades at IDR14,898, down 35 figs on the day. The key near-term bearish target is provided by Jul 29 low/50-DMA located at IDR14,833/14,831. Conversely, a jump above Jul 22 high of IDR15,038 would reinstate the uptrend.

• MYR/IDR snaps a four-day winning streak and last trades at IDR3,343, down ~7 figs on the day. A further retreat under Aug 1 low of IDR3,331 would confirm that a bearish reversal is underway. Bulls need a jump above Jul 22 high of IDR3,379 to get some reprieve.
