Here is the daily chart.

I've been burned badly for shorting this week, so I am being cautious as well.

On the daily chart, we have some more of upside to go before reaching the top of the channel. So it might be safer to wait until it touches the top of the channel at 52.50 before going short.

But i really hate to stand on the sideline and miss this move down, which I think is very likely to happen.

FYI this is May contract

I like your thinking. We might see52 - 53 this week but we might need to get back to 47 or 48 today for the oil bulls to feel better about loading up. From a macro econ stand point seems like we should be at 30 so for me it feels easier to be short but usually the easy trade is wrong so who the heck knows. I just know im willing to lose 3k to make 7!

I dont know much about options and was looking at the prices.

Currently the put/call ratio(of last price) for may 09 options is 4.65/3.21. Since this ratio is positive it means sentiment is bearish and price is gonna fall. Am i correct?
 
i don't know much about options outside of what i learned in school, but i googled it:

Investopedia explains Put-Call Ratio
For example, a high volume of puts compared to calls indicates a bearish sentiment in the market.

that is talking about volume though, so not sure.
