Social sentiment toward XRP has tanked into the “fear zone,” but the intelligence platform Santiment says a similar drop has led the token rallying.
Santiment on Thursday that its social data is showing that XRP () is seeing “the most fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) since October.”
“The last time we saw near this level of fear from the crowd was November 21, and XRP’s price immediately rallied 22% over the next three days,” it added.
“As of now, an opportunity appears to be emerging just like two weeks ago.”

Sour social sentiment is not bearish
Crypto analysts agreed with Satiment that XRP’s drop is not necessarily bearish.
“XRP is looking less like a ripple and more like a puddle,” Justin d’Anethan, head of research at private markets advisory firm Arctic Digital, told Cointelegraph.
Traders see prices stuck in a low-conviction and close to a zone, at the $2 range, he said.
“This isn’t all bearish, though, as those often mark a bottom that can then capitalize on legal wins, regulatory clarity, a US-first approach, and a long-standing cross-border payment value.”
