XRP crowd sentiment has deteriorated to its weakest level in three weeks, 
according to a Santiment Intelligence chart shared on X, putting the token 
back in what the analytics firm described as a historically relevant “FUD 
zone.” Santiment said the ratio of positive to negative social media 
commentary around XRP has dropped to just 1.1 bullish comments for every 
bearish comment. In the chart, the positive-to-negative sentiment ratio sits 
near 1.104 on May 25, close to the lower fear threshold marked by Santiment, 
while XRP’s price line hovered around the mid-$1.30 area. Related Reading: Why 
Questions Are Being Raised about The XRP Ledger’s 300,000 Milestone “XRP’s 
crowd sentiment has swung sharply negative again, with the ratio of positive 
to negative commentary dropping to just 1.1 bullish comments for every 1 
bearish comment,” Santiment wrote. “Historically, this kind of fear and 
skepticism has often acted as a contrarian signal for XRP’s price.” What This 
Means For XRP Price The point of the signal is not that bearish commentary has 
overtaken bullish commentary outright. Rather, it shows that the balance of 
social discussion has compressed sharply toward parity. For a token that often 
trades heavily on retail sentiment, legal narratives, exchange-flow 
speculation and broader altcoin risk appetite, a sharp decline in crowd 
confidence can matter because it may indicate that bullish positioning has 
already been flushed out. Santiment framed the move as a potential contrarian 
setup. The firm argued that when traders become unusually fearful, weaker 
holders may have already exited, reducing marginal selling pressure and 
creating conditions for stabilization. “When traders across social media 
become overly fearful, many weak hands have already sold, reducing selling 
pressure and creating conditions for a rebound,” Santiment said. “The below 
chart shows that previous dips into the ‘FUD zone’ were frequently followed by 
price stabilization or bounces shortly afterward.” Related Reading: XRP 
Channel Pattern Points To $5, Says Korean Analyst The chart contrasts that 
lower fear band with a higher “FOMO zone,” where crowd optimism becomes 
stretched. Santiment’s historical framing is straightforward: extreme 
pessimism can coincide with exhaustion in selling, while extreme enthusiasm 
can appear near local tops because too many market participants are already 
positioned for upside. “The opposite effect can happen during periods of 
extreme excitement and hype,” Santiment wrote. “When the positive-to-negative 
sentiment ratio rises deep into the ‘FOMO zone,’ it usually means traders are 
becoming overly confident and aggressively buying based on fear of missing 
out. Those moments often occur close to local tops because too many traders 
are already positioned bullishly, leaving fewer new buyers available to keep 
prices rising.” Notably, Santiment is not saying that a rebound is guaranteed. 
The data instead suggests that the current sentiment backdrop has historically 
been more constructive for short-term recovery attempts than periods of 
elevated crowd optimism. Santiment told traders to monitor XRP’s “elevated 
fear level,” saying the current zone has historically increased the 
probability of a short-term bounce or recovery. At press time, XRP traded at 
$1.34. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
