Technical Market Overview:

The BTC/USD pair has bounced from the level of $5,347 to the level of $5,482, just below the technical resistance. The pair is still trading below the orange trendline which is providing the dynamic resistance around the level of $5,480. From the Elliott Wave point of view, the recent drop was a wave (a) of the corrective cycle and now the market is unfolding wave (b), so there is still wave (c) missing anyway.

Trading recommendations:

The level of the recent high at $5,500 is a good level to enter a short term sell position with a target at the level of $5,348 or even below ( it all depends on the form of the corrective cycle in wave (c)). The longer-term outlook is still bullish, but currently, the market entered a corrective cycle.
