Is the bubble bursting? :-D
Probably not. The initial kneejerk is over and the panic buying is done so prices are stabilizing. Those early price increases were likely big cash grabs from shops trying to take advantage of the wave.
There's possibly some downward pressure from chinese memory manufacturers upping production and increasing supply globally, which lowers the overall cost of memory just like how oil gets cheaper when countries around the world increase production and increase global supply - even if they are sanctioned by the west.
