There are derivative markets where you could purchase an option to sell bitcoin at a set price in the future. If the price falls below your target by then, buy up cheaper Bitcoins and sell them at profit.

If you really want to - Borrow $x bit coins - sell $x bit coins - wait for price to drop - buy back $x bit coins - return $x bit coins to lender.
Now the speculators are in........

Good luck. I hope it goes better for you than the people planning to do it 3 weeks ago. Or 3 months ago. Or a year ago.

That strategy works unless this is the lowest it will ever be.

Right. Like it was higher 3 weeks ago. Or 3 months ago, or a year ago?
