Santiment Data Shows XRP Pessimism At Levels That Preceded Past Rallies

XRP(XRP) retail sentiment has fallen to its third-worst reading in two years, a level that Santiment says has historically preceded short-term price recoveries.

The analytics firm flagged the shift in an Apr. 13 post on X, noting that the ratio of bullish to bearish comments across platforms like X and Reddit had dropped into what it called the "FUD zone."

It was only the third time in two years that negative sentiment reached such an extreme.

XRP has shed roughly 63% of its value over the past nine months.

Retail traders have largely turned away from the token, and social commentary has grown overwhelmingly negative.

"Historically, when bullish comments get replaced by this level of bearish ones, the probability of a relief rally climbs significantly higher," Santiment's team wrote.

The firm pointed to two prior instances — February and October 2025 — when extreme negative readings were followed by recoveries. In the February case, the firm described the rebound as "BIG."
