BTC can't go, and stay, under $5k because the cost for mining one BTC is above that mark. So the minimum that you can expect is $5k.
Why do you assume price is based on cost of production? Miners = supply, and I don't think they're generally in the business of propping the market up with fiat money.
If mining becomes unprofitable and leveraged miners need to shut down, then difficulty will just drop. Profitability will adjust accordingly after marginal miners are squeezed out of the market, much like how marginal traders are squeezed out before a price reversal.
If you don't know enough about crypto and you're not willing to learn then it's better for you to quit while you still have some money.
