why do you predict the difficulty to continually rise, if the price doesnt change at all?
the price will change.

i won't and can't predict the future,
i just don't know, what the difficulty will be in 10, or 20, or 30 days
and i also don't know, what the price will be in 10, or 20, or 30 days, maybe it's more, maybe less than today.

it is profitable now and the last year has shown, that price and difficulty will catch up on eachother,
right now, the price leads the way, and difficulty follows, it might be the other way around in 2weeks.

it's always the same with every single difficulty jump,
everytime people start complaining that mining isnt profitable anymore,
fact is, it's more profitable today (at a higher difficulty), than it was a few weeks ago (at lower difficulty) due to the fact, that the price is so incredible high.

let it be a bit less profitable next week, or next month,
i won't care, less profit is still profit.
