In Brief: XRP’s bullish-to-bearish comment ratio dropped to 0.67, its lowest since August, despite September’s rally and brief bursts of trader optimism. Ethereum’s sentiment ratio fell to 0.
XRP’s bullish-to-bearish comment ratio has dropped to 0.67, its lowest level since August 17, despite the token’s September rally. According to Santiment’s update, negative remarks outweighed positive comments across X, Telegram, Reddit, and other cryptocurrency communities.
The reading represents approximately 67 bullish comments for every 100 bearish remarks, showing a clear imbalance toward pessimism among commentators. September’s price advance briefly encouraged enthusiasm, but those positive reactions failed to sustain confidence as the market entered October.
Instead, XRP sentiment returned toward the bottom of its recent range, highlighting the contrast between price performance and social expectations. This shift does not erase September’s gains, but it shows that the rally failed to maintain optimism across monitored conversations.
Meanwhile, some XRP holders have expressed frustration that reported institutional adoption developments have not delivered the price response they anticipated. Those complaints illustrate disappointment among some commentators, although the available sentiment figures do not establish why every participant turned bearish.
Additionally, Santiment gathers commentary from several platforms, allowing its analysis to capture changes beyond the mood of one online community. Its ratio compares positive and negative remarks, rather than measuring transactions, exchange activity, or the number of investors selling XRP.
Consequently, the latest figure establishes that bearish commentary dominates the tracked conversation, without proving that all XRP holders share that outlook. Social sentiment can also change quickly, meaning the October reading captures a particular market mood rather than a permanent trend.

Ethereum also experienced weaker social sentiment, with its bullish-to-bearish comment ratio falling to 0.89, the lowest reading since June 7. However, XRP’s lower ratio shows a greater imbalance toward negative commentary, keeping its post-rally deterioration central to Santiment’s assessment.
Both readings sit below 1.0, meaning bearish remarks outnumber bullish ones across the social platforms included in the analysis. Nevertheless, Santiment suggested that heavy pessimism can create a potential contrarian setup when traders become broadly convinced prices will fall.
Its reasoning rests on the possibility that some fearful participants have already sold, potentially reducing selling pressure from that group. Under such conditions, market behavior could diverge from bearish expectations, although the comment ratios cannot confirm that process has occurred.
Moreover, negative remarks do not reveal whether their authors hold XRP, have reduced their exposure, or intend to sell additional tokens. Hence, the sentiment decline alone cannot establish that September’s rally will resume or that XRP has reached a price bottom.
Santiment emphasized that pessimism does not guarantee an immediate rebound, leaving the timing and direction of any recovery uncertain. Further losses could deepen bearish commentary, even when the existing imbalance attracts attention from traders seeking a possible contrarian opportunity.
XRP’s weakest sentiment reading since August underscores how quickly September’s enthusiasm faded across the cryptocurrency communities Santiment monitors. Despite the rally, bearish comments now dominate, while the possibility of a contrarian recovery remains conditional rather than confirmed.
