Oil Technical Analysis: Rising wedge breakdown favors re-test of lows seen yesterday

• The 15-minute chart of brent oil shows a rising wedge breakdown, which indicates the corrective rally from the six-week lows hit yesterday has ended and prices could revisit $71.71 (previous day's low) today.
• The path of least resistance is to the downside, indicates the trendline sloping downwards from the July 10 high and July 31 high. Only a daily close above the trendline resistance would put the bulls back into the driver's seat.
