XRP completed a "golden cross" on its one-hour chart as investors considered a sticky February inflation report on Wednesday.
Wednesday's February CPI report was in line with economist forecasts, up 0.3% on a month-to-month basis, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.4%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Both numbers matched the Dow Jones consensus forecast and remained above the Federal Reserve’s inflation target of 2% to reach price stability.
The annual inflation rate in the US held steady at 2.4% in February 2026, unchanged from January, in line with expectations and remaining at its lowest level since May 2025. On a monthly basis, core CPI increased by 0.2%, less than 0.3% in the previous month.… pic.twitter.com/RbfuqBEv82
