Ethereum briefly surged nearly 10% after the latest CPI release, climbing from $2,433 to $2,667 in a sharp move that analysts linked to whale activity. According to analyst alicharts, the number of Ethereum transactions worth more than $1 million rose by nearly 14% during the rally, suggesting that large holders were active behind the move. The analyst also said ETH is now approaching a major resistance zone. More than 10 million ETH had previously changed hands between $2,700 and $2,800, creating what alicharts described as a sizable supply wall. That range now stands out as the key area bulls, especially whales, would need to break through before Ethereum can make a run toward $3,000. The move came shortly after CPI data was released, with the price reaction unfolding over a short period.
