The highly anticipated February CPI report was released this morning, showing slightly higher than expected readings. Core CPI came in at 3.8% YoY vs. 3.7% expected and 0.4% MoM vs. 0.3% expected.

Amidst this sideways price action in the majors, select altcoins such as $TIA, Celestia's data availability layer token, and $FIL, Filecoin's native token, continue to exhibit strength.
