Is this accurate? It looks like they are no longer rising, at least for DDR5 memory:

Most of the price increase did occur in Q4 2025 and most prices are fairly stable since then. Maybe this is different for LPDDR, GDDR, or HBM, but I would like to see evidence for that.

Look at DDR5-6000, it clearly is rising again since June.

Still looks like a weak trend compared to the explosive price hike at the end of 2026.
