Above ((2)) low, it extended higher in (1) of ((3)) of III, which ended at $448.40 high. Later, it corrected lower in (2) as sharp pullback at $410.80 low as 0.382 Fibonacci retracement. Above there, it favors upside in (3) of ((3)), which confirms above (1) high of $448.40. Until then, it still may extend lower as double in (2), if breaks below $410.80 low before it should resume higher in (3). Currently, it favors upside in 1 of (3) & expect impulse sequence to confirm it in (3). We like to buy the pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings at extreme areas, when reached.
