This is my observation also. Which is why the price has gone up recently (in anticipation of the incoming rises) and the network hashpower has significantly increased (as shown by the increased diff). People are mining while they still can!
Are you refering to the price rise from 0.006 to 0.0065? Still a long way to go to reach the previous tops, no?
I don't see price going up that fast after GPU miners become available. Time will tell...
