I cannot speak for everyone else but for me my break even point is somewhere around $2-3/BTC...but that has to be the monthly weighted average before I will consider shutting down. To me it matters very little what happens on a daily/weekly scale.
Also, I am not selling any BTC til prices are back in the range I deem "acceptable". I would rather go all or nothing on my BTC holdings.

It probably takes time before the fall in hashing rate accelerates. I guess many are still waiting for others to quit

Probably not but you can increase you loss when you keep it running, paying for electricity. Lest not forget the hardware depreciation and all the time you waste by keeping the rigs running.

Price is over $5.
Difficulty is not going down, since people with equipment already paid for are making money. (Even if very little)
But ROI does not justify deploying any new equipment, and existing equipment might never return the investment already made.
