Technical View
SET to dip below support at 1630 points, more downside while the next support is 1600 points. For mid-term: strong selling pressure on big caps in all sectors has pushed the index to slip through the key support at the neckline of 1630. Coupled with the MACD indicator crossing down the signal line, it is likely the index is forming a triple top reversal pattern.

If SET technically rebounds intraday, Maybank recommends to sell stocks to reduce portfolio.
