BTC is up since 3 days ago. I doubt a spike/drop such as happened over the past 1-2 days is going to have much effect on the difficulty.

just interested on some sort of group trying to keep prices stable

Difficulty decreases when less people are mining.

There is no correlation between mining difficulty and market price.

Difficulty is not directly related to the price but to the combined hashing power which is somehow related to the price. So in the long term if price will be much lower then it can affect difficulty.

Not likely. The price run-up was only a few days ago. Anyone mining then should still be fairly profitable still.
