Jack in the Box Inc

The stock is in an early Stage 1 consolidation after a severe decline with a Post-Capitulation mean-reversion pattern signaling exhausted selling. The long-term downtrend remains intact, but the medium-term bias is bullish due to mean-reversion eligibility and repaired short-term EMAs. Short-term timing is neutral as price oscillates around flat 9/20 EMAs with RSI mid-range, so execution is deferred, watching for pullbacks into the short-EMA zone.
