Trend: The price of Moong is extremely overbought and is expected to undergo a correction in the near future. The present escalation in Moong rates can be attributed to two reasons.

However, the supply of superior-quality Moong is expected to rise as the Rabi crop is due to arrive soon.

Additionally, the supply may increase further due to the liquidation of stocks by the stockiest and NAFED before the arrival of the Rabi crop. The high prices of Moong have caused a decrease in consumer demand, and this may lead to the end of the current rally as selling pressure increases and demand slows down. Moreover, Moong prices may be negatively impacted by the 25% higher sowing for India's summer crop.
