The Ethereum (ETH) price is picking up on Wednesday amid a broader rally across crypto and traditional asset markets following US CPI data, with some traders focusing on a mysterious wallet that just scooped up 29,000 ETH, and some are interpreting as a bullish signal.
According to various blockchain trackers, a new wallet has accumulated almost 29,000 ETH in the last 24 hours.

But the mysterious new ETH whale maybe have timed the market perfectly.
The Ethereum price is up close to 5% and back above $3,000 on Wednesday as traders digest US CPI data.

Growth stocks are like coiled springs, QT-taper and rate cuts later this year likely to trigger big rally.

That could suggest that the recent Ethereum price bottom under $3,000 could be a local low.
Its too early for the Ethereum bulls to
