A break above the nearby Nov 5 high of IDR14,390 would allow bulls to target Aug 27 high of IDR14,445. Conversely, a fall through Nov 30 low of IDR14,293 would open up Nov 19 low of IDR14,210.

  • USD/IDR 1-month NDF last seen -13 figs at IDR14,420. Bears see Nov 30 low of IDR14,328 as their initial target, while bulls look to a move through Nov 26 high of IDR14,496.
