XRP Negativity Reaches Six-Month High: Should We Expect Growth?

According to Santiment, negative mentions of XRP on social media have reached a six-month high, coinciding with a price drop. The platform's analysts note that widespread pessimism often acts as a counter-indicator, foreshadowing a market reversal and subsequent rally.
Santiment uses machine learning to evaluate XRP mentions, assigning them positive or negative scores. When the share of negative comments increases sharply, it signals fear among retail investors. According to the platform, such periods often present buying opportunities: when the majority is bracing for a decline, major players can buy the asset at a reduced price, expecting a rebound.
Market history supports this theory. For example, on September 17, when positive mentions of XRP outnumbered negative ones by 3.21 times, the asset's price fell 14.1% over eight days. In contrast, in April, amid trade disputes in the US, a surge in negativity coincided with a local price bottom, followed by a rapid rise.
The current situation is reminiscent of April. According to Santiment, negative mentions of XRP have exceeded positive ones on two of the last three days. On October 4, the ratio of positive to negative comments dropped to 0.74—the lowest in the last six months. Analysts believe the current level of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) may signal an approaching local bottom and present an opportunity to buy with the expectation of a subsequent recovery.
Therefore, a sharp increase in negative sentiment in the investor community, which at first glance appears to be bad news, could be an indicator of future growth for XRP. History shows that when the majority of market participants are pessimistic, major players take advantage of this situation to accumulate assets, and the price eventually reverses.
Monitoring the dynamics of mentions and sentiment on social media, as well as the behavior of major investors, can be useful for those looking for profitable entry points into the cryptocurrency market.
