Social sentiment across crypto markets has been shifting. Santiment data recently shows that sentiment around Ethereum and XRP is at its most bearish levels, with negative commentary dominating social platforms.
Cointelegraph reported the development on X, citing Santiment’s tracking of the positive-to-negative comment ratio across BTC, ETH, and XRP.
XRP sentiment currently sits at just 0.67 positive comments per negative comment. That is its lowest reading since August 17, just before the asset’s breakout of over 50%. Ethereum sentiment has fallen to its most bearish point since June 7. The Santiment chart tracks this ratio over a multi-month period from late June through October 1, layered against Bitcoin’s price action shown in candlestick form.

The chart shows sentiment oscillating throughout the period, with sharp spikes in positive commentary during price surges and notable collapses during consolidation phases. The most recent drop places both ETH and XRP at the lower end of their historical sentiment ranges for this cycle.
Bitcoin’s price, meanwhile, climbed steadily through August and September, reaching levels near $84.7k before pulling back slightly into October.
Historically, extreme negative sentiment in crypto has drawn attention as a potential contrarian indicator. When retail pessimism peaks, prices have sometimes reversed upward. Several market observers noted that this pattern has repeated across previous cycles, with crowd negativity often appearing near local price floors.
One community member noted that bearish social fundamentals are not the same as bearish market fundamentals, adding that retail pessimism has historically served as a contrarian signal. Another pointed out that low sentiment alone does not constitute a buy signal.

Several community voices responded to the data. One commenter argued that sentiment extremes are worth watching precisely because they reveal how traders are emotionally positioned, and noted curiosity about whether the shift aligns with on-chain activity. Another said extreme sentiment historically signals changes in market positioning and momentum.
Others took a more measured view. One noted that bearish sentiment tends to flip faster than most expect. A few community members are confident the current conditions are temporary, with one stating that the bottom is already in. Another added that low sentiment usually means the crowd has already exited the position.
