Following a report from the U.S. Department of Energy yesterday, showing a decline in crude oil supplies, oil prices shot up and are now being traded at over $74.00 a barrel. However, I will illustrate below that crude oil may very well be heading for a reversal. Forex traders can take advantage of this imminent downward movement by entering short positions at an excellent entry price.
