XRP News
XRP sentiment has plunged to its lowest levels since October, entering the fear zone, but intelligence platform Santiment suggests this could precede a price rally. Social data shows the token facing intense fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Santiment reported Thursday that XRP is experiencing the most negative sentiment since October. The last time fear reached similar levels was Nov. 21, when the token's price rallied 22% over three days.
The platform indicated an opportunity may be emerging, similar to two weeks ago. XRP dropped 4.6% over 24 hours to below $2.10, making it the worst performer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market value. The token sits 42% below its July 2025 all-time high.
Justin d'Anethan, head of research at Arctic Digital, said traders see prices stuck in a low-conviction zone near $2. This capitulation zone often marks bottoms that can benefit from legal wins, regulatory clarity, and cross-border payment value.
LVRG Research director Nick Ruck noted XRP is holding firmly above its key $2 level. Growing bullish momentum stems from sustained institutional inflows exceeding $750 million into spot ETFs this month.
Net inflows to spot XRP exchange-traded funds slowed considerably this week despite positive trading starts. Thursday's inflows reached $12.8 million, the lowest since Nov. 21, according to SoSoValue.
The products maintained positive flows since their mid-November launch. Five funds hold $881 million in total net assets, showing continued investor interest despite slowing momentum.
Crypto analysts agreed with Santiment that the drop does not signal bearish fundamentals. Historical patterns suggest extreme fear zones often create buying opportunities for XRP as sentiment reaches oversold conditions and positions for reversals.
