A week ago, inventory was at 353 thousand, and was down 48.8% YoY.  

Seasonally, inventory has bottomed.   Inventory was about 17.3% above the low in early April.

Mike Simonsen discusses this data regularly on Youtube.  Altos Research has also seen a significant pickup in price decreases, although still well below a normal rate for June.
