USD/IDR Technical Analysis: 50% Fibonacci questions run-up to 200-DMA

• USD/IDR pulls back from the six-week high.
• Sustained trading beyond multi-month-old falling trend line, 100-DMA portrays the pair’s strength.

As a result, buyers will keep eyes on 200-DMA level near 14,160 as far as the quote stays above the multi-month old support line, at 14,080.

While October month high surrounding 14,215 could entertain buyers past-200-DMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement near 14,070 and 14,000 might lure sellers during the fall below 14,080.
