I would say it is rising far less on day 4 than it was on day 2. It is still rising, but it is rising less. Water will not go down until the rate of rising has peaked, slowed, stopped, and then reversed.
Prices are still going up because there is still inflation. Prices are not going up as fast because inflation has decreased. For prices to go down inflation will need to drop to zero and then go negative (deflation). But the rate of increase in prices is the rate of inflation so if prices are going up more slowly it is because inflation has decreased.
