Ethereum surged past the $2,600 mark, reaching $2,616 on September 18, 2026, boosted by a short squeeze that forced $85 million in short positions to close. This rapid price rise reflects forced buying rather than organic demand, so its sustainability depends on continued buying without leverage. Despite recent gains, Ethereum remains 47% below its all-time high of $4,946 from August 2025. Regulatory developments, including US crypto rule proposals, also supported the market. Investors should watch if $2,600 holds as new support and be cautious with leveraged positions due to high volatility and liquidation risks.
