After completing a large wave 2, the stock seems to have nested within a series of ones and twos in the early stages of wave 3. This suggests that a strong move to the upside is anticipated, as wave (5) is yet to unfold. Further gains are likely as the impulsive structure develops, confirming the bullish trend.

An alternate scenario suggests that wave {iv} is forming a triangle, which would imply a consolidation period before the final leg up in wave {v} of 3. Since wave {v} must be shorter than wave {iii} (to maintain proportionality within the Elliott Wave framework), the upside target for wave {v} is capped at $444.
