Data shows social media users are still optimistic about XRP even as sentiment 
around Bitcoin and Ethereum has declined alongside the market downturn. XRP 
Positive/Negative Sentiment Is Still At A Notable Level In a new post on X, 
analytics firm Santiment has talked about how social media sentiment has 
compared across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP during the latest market decline. 
The indicator of relevance here is the &#8220;Positive/Negative Sentiment,&#8221; which 
tells us about how positive comments related to a given asset stack up against 
the negative ones on the major social media platforms. Related Reading: Social 
Media Now Talking Sub-$60,000 Bitcoin Prices As Fear Rises The metric works by 
assembling posts/comments/messages containing mentions of the asset and 
feeding them into a machine-learning model to classify them as bearish or 
bullish. It then counts up the number of posts in each category and finds 
their ratio. When the value of this ratio is greater than 1, it means positive 
comments related to the cryptocurrency outweigh the negative ones. On the 
other hand, the indicator being under this threshold suggests the dominance of 
bearish sentiment. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the 
trend in the Positive/Negative Sentiment for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP over 
the past month: As is visible in the above graph, the Positive/Negative 
Sentiment plunged across the three cryptocurrencies at the end of January as 
prices crashed. The indicator&#8217;s value slipped below 1 for each of them during 
this drop, indicating traders became bearish on the market as a whole. As 
prices have continued to slide down since then, however, a shift has occurred 
in the Positive/Negative Sentiment, with its value separating for the three. 
The chart shows that the metric&#8217;s latest value for XRP is nearly 2.2, 
indicating that social media users have become more optimistic about the coin. 
Meanwhile, the indicator continues to be inside the bearish zone for Bitcoin 
with a value of 0.79. Ethereum has seen some improvement in the metric to a 
neutral value of 1, but compared to the normal for January, this level could 
still be considered to reflect a bearish sentiment among the retail social 
media crowd. Related Reading: Bitcoin MVRV Z-Score Compresses To Levels Last 
Seen Near $29,000 Historically, digital asset markets have often tended to 
move in a direction contrary to the expectations of retail traders. This means 
that an extreme amount of fear can help prices rebound, while overhype can 
lead to tops. &#8220;There remains a strong argument for a short-term relief rally 
as long as the small trader crowd continues to show disbelief toward 
cryptocurrency as a whole,&#8221; explained the analytics firm. Given that trader 
sentiment has diverged for XRP recently, however, it only remains to be seen 
how the sector will develop in the near future. XRP Price At the time of 
writing, XRP is floating around $1.35, down more than 27% over the last seven 
days. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com
