According to https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator...

Next difficulty retarget occurs at block 334655.0 (eta 3.2 days): 39547782382.4 / -1.1% [est.]

What is your opinion ?

I think it will go down a second time, originally I was expecting a marginal increase but it looks like more units are powering down
So at least for now the hashrate will drop
(That said I'm curious if its at a peak bubble and will collapse a bit more soon)

If difficulty collapse, the price is expected to go down with it as well... is not it ? Does anyone have any difficulty vs. price graph for bitcoin ?

It doesn't follow that way. price doesn't care about difficulty.

Difficulty, or rather electricity spent per unit Bitcoin, somewhat follows price. When the more efficient chips come on the market the difficulty will increase again.
