ETH's 2,600 reclaim needs a fresh timestamp.

I'm seeing the reclaim topic in Trends, but the latest completed Binance spot ETH/USDT hour closed at 2,579.08 on September 20, 11:59 UTC. The ten hourly candles from 02:00 through 11:00 UTC all closed below 2,600.

That changes my question from whether 2,600 is holding to what would count as a recovery. An earlier breakout headline can remain visible after price has lost the level.

My map runs from publication to September 21 at 12:00 UTC.

Two consecutive hourly closes above 2,600 would put September 19's daily close, 2,632.69, back on my upside watchlist.

Closes between today's low of 2,564.33 and 2,600 leave ETH in a repair range, with the old threshold still overhead.

An hourly close below 2,564.33 would signal a fresh break under today's observed low, rather than a confirmed recovery.

A close back below 2,600 after that two-close reclaim cancels the upside setup. A close back above 2,564.33 after a downside break cancels that breakdown reading.

I'm using completed hourly closes, not a brief wick, for those conditions. The open 12:00 UTC candle isn't in this snapshot.

By that deadline, what evidence would convince you that 2,600 has become support again?
