The market is showing a clear transition pattern:

• Early April → uptrend begins
Key signals:
• WW180 rising fastest → supply shortage
• WW240 increasing → retail demand recovery
• WW320 stable → strong bulk demand
👉 This is not a spike – it is a structured upward trend
📅 Market Timing – The Buying Window
April sits at a very important point:
| Phase | Market Condition | Buyer Action |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 (past) | Price bottom | Waiting |
| Early Q2 (now) | Price rising slowly | 🔥 Best buying window |
| Q3 (next) | Supply tightening | Higher price risk |
| Q4 (peak) | Strong demand | Highest price |
👉 Current position = early uptrend (ideal entry point)
💰 What Happens If You Wait?
If buyers delay decisions:
• WW240 and WW180 likely increase faster
• supply of large kernels tightens
• retail demand pushes prices higher
• fewer negotiation advantages
👉 Especially for OEM buyers, delay = higher cost + lower margin

Recommended approach:
• lock partial volume now
• monitor weekly price trend
• split orders to reduce risk
• secure key grades early
Smart buying structure:
• WW320 → secure bulk volume
• WW240 → lock margin segment
• roasted/OEM → book production early
