Yes, the APE in these 7 days is very good (1113%), but the Ethereum Classic is spectacular (74%) and it is not a new release, far from it.
It may have an explanation in the fact that a third block reward reduction is coming. Although personally I think it has more to do with the speculation about the flight of miners from ETH to ETC and the heavy bets that have been made.
It is clear that the crucial moment for Ethereum and its renewal project Ethereum 2.0 is getting closer and the news for those who trust in the project is imminent but that is where Ethereum's rivals also see a weakness since the passage of PoW (proof of work) to PoS (proof of stake) may not be to the liking of many miners and users. You will have to watch everything very closely.
