Social sentiment around XRP (XRP) has collapsed to its third-most bearish reading in two years, according to new data from analytics firm Santiment.
The signal arrives as the broader crypto market remains mired in extreme fear, amid geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty that continue to suppress risk appetite.
XRP FUD Spikes Amid 63% Price Drop
Santiment’s weekly social data for the cryptocurrency by market cap reveals that bearish commentary around XRP is rising. The ratio of positive-to-negative commentary on social media has fallen to 1.02 bullish comments per 1.00 bearish comments this week. This has pushed the token deep into the firm’s Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) zone.
Retail investors appear to have turned away from XRP following a 63% price decline over the past nine months from its July 2025 high of $3.6.
“FUD is at its 3rd highest point in the past 2 years,” the post read. “Historically, when bullish comments get replaced by this level of bearish ones, the probability of a relief rally climbs significantly higher. Prices move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations.”
The pattern has played out at prior sentiment lows. In February 2025, the ratio dropped to 0.96 bullish per 1.00 bearish, and XRP staged a significant rebound after, only for greed to take hold and momentum to fade. In October 2025, the ratio hit 1.01, and the token temporarily rallied afterward.

While the contrarian signal is historically significant, it does not function as a confirmed reversal indicator. XRP has continued to move with the broader market. Thus, macro and geopolitical conditions remain key variables for XRP traders to monitor alongside sentiment data.
According to BeInCrypto Markets, XRP traded at $1.33 at press time, posting modest 0.35% gains after two consecutive red days.
