According to coindance there has been a pretty big shift within the last 24 hours. After the alpha release of SegWit2x the (24hr)-support went down from ~87{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8} to ~75{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8}, now it is suddenly at over 90{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8}, the normal Segwit support dropped by 10{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8}, the Emergent Consensus support rose by 15{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8}. Have I missed some code-updates or news here?

BTC's hashrate increased by 40{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8} and the shift in signaling indicates that the new hash-power supports Emergent Consensus. As the biggest part of Emergent Consensus blocks also signal to signal support for SegWit2x, the support-{88c91daedd271a990a10650c05d769cae2765e0603edf30ca95f18704e5748e8} for SegWit2x went up, too. The question now is, is this good or bad news?
