Hi @falco! The "consequences" depend on the trading position of each individual. A month ago I was just describing a new market for Bitshares. So if you wanted to buy BTS using XRP there and because by then it costed 0.85 each, then the consequence (if BTS price would have gone down) in terms of XRP would have been a "loss".
Buying at 0.85 with a current price of 0.89 is still a gain. 0.978 was the peak. In terms of trade 1 or 0.978 is nearly equally good.
