Why is ETH up 2.22% Today, July 16, 2026? Ecosystem Rotation Outpaces a Flat Crypto Market

AI Market Summary
ETH outperformed (+2.22%) while BTC was slightly down and total crypto market cap stayed flat, signaling a narrow rotation rather than broad risk-on. Softer inflation reduced near-term tightening fears, but falling derivatives open interest and a Fear & Greed reading in "Fear" suggest the move is aided by short-covering. Strength is concentrated in Ethereum restaking/yield, led by the Ether.fi ecosystem surge.
