This work studies the boundedness and global attractivity for the posivitive solutions of the difference equation $x_{n+1}= \max\{c,{x^p_n\over x^p_{n-1}}\}$, $n\in\bbfN_0$ with $p,c\in(0,+\infty)$.\par It is shown that: (a) there exist unbounded solutions whenever $p\ge 4$; (b) all positive solutions are bounded when $p\in(0, 4)$; (c) every positive solution is eventually equal to 1 when $p\in(0, 4)$ and $c\ge 1$; (d) all positive solutions converge to 1 whenever $p,c\in(0,1)$.
