XRP sentiment among retail investors has declined to severe lows as fear and 
doubt continue to plague the market. The cryptocurrency has seen continuous 
declines in its price since reaching a high above $3 in 2025. This poor 
performance has triggered rapid sell-offs and weakened XRP’s market structure 
to the point that its short-term direction remains uncertain. Nevertheless, 
new reports suggest that XRP is now sitting at sentiment levels that 
previously preceded massive price rallies. If historical trends repeat 
perfectly, the cryptocurrency could be gearing up for a highly anticipated 
price reversal. Sentiment Hit Levels Tied To Past Rallies In an X post on 
April 13, the market intelligence platform Santiment disclosed that XRP’s 
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) has reached its third-highest level in the 
past two years. Retail investors appear to be shifting away from the 
cryptocurrency as its price has continued to trend downward and consolidate at 
lower levels for months. Related Reading: It’s Too Early For A Bitcoin Price 
Bottom, Here’s What You Should Be Looking At Interestingly, Santiment’s data 
shows that the rising fear and uncertainty over XRP’s price outlook may not be 
entirely negative. In the X post, Santiment noted that historically, when 
bullish comments about XRP get replaced by this high level of bearishness, the 
probability of a relief rally increases significantly. The market intelligence 
platform noted that the reason for this contradictory reaction is that prices 
tend to move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. The 
accompanying chart shows that in February 2025, XRP experienced similar levels 
of bearishness and then rebounded sharply. The same trend was observed in 
October 2025, before the cryptocurrency skyrocketed. With most retail 
investors finally turning their backs on XRP after it crashed by more than 63% 
in nine months, Santiment reveals that this kind of signal could be 
capitalized on if investors wait longer. If historical trends play out as the 
market intelligence platform suggests, then XRP could be preparing for a major 
bullish reversal soon. XRP Sparks Another Brief Rally XRP has experienced a 
brief bounce, climbing more than 3% in the last 24 hours and over 4% over the 
past seven days. However, this increase has been unable to drive its price 
back toward the $1.4 resistance level. Related Reading: Why A Bitcoin Price 
Breakdown To $50,000 Could Be Important For Long-Term Bullishness Data from 
CoinMarketCap shows that the XRP price rose this week primarily due to a 
broader crypto rally led by Bitcoin. The surge in Bitcoin’s price was fueled 
by dovish signals from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) that slightly eased macro 
pressure on risk assets. Aside from these developments, XRP currently lacks 
strong bullish catalysts to drive its price higher. The cryptocurrency’s weak 
structure, combined with ongoing geopolitical tensions, has been a major 
contributor to investors&#8217; negative sentiment and growing panic. Featured image
