ETH Tops $2,600, Up 3.66% in 24 Hours

The headline number matters less than the level it reclaims: crossing back above 2,600 signals buyers are willing to defend a round figure that had recently capped upside. That matters most for traders positioned around that strike and for ETH-denominated DeFi collateral, where a sustained move higher loosens margin pressure. Whether the advance holds into the next session, or fades as it did on prior attempts, is the open question.
