The price of ApeCoin (APE) has jumped by 10% in the past 24 hours, with its move to $1.26 today also representing an 11% gain in a week.

In terms of fundamentals, there doesn't seem to be any major ApeCoin-related news that could have sparked today's rally.
On the contrary, it seems that the main cause of today's spike is
