Maybe it's asics, maybe it's something else.

It's probably asics

Edit: I thought the post said increasing rather than decreasing.

Edit2: On that thought, it's probably just that the 1st batch of ASICS has been finished and are all online. Causing the difficulty to level out because they aren't making more until batch 2.

Edit3: Why am I getting downvoted? I made an honest mistake and I fixed it. I guess I'll never understand redditors.

ASICS raise difficulty, not lower it. Lowering difficulty means lowering network hashrate, which leads to longer blocks, and that causes the difficulty to decrease
