There are also options.  

You could buy a PUT, giving you the opportunity to sell your bitcoins at a higher price even after the price goes down as you suspect it will.
Or you could sell a CALL option, and you collect the premium now.  When the price goes down the CALL expires worthless and you profit.

and some peoeple are offering options through Bitcoin-OTC.
