<p>Ethereum has become the crowd favorite as social media sentiment turns fearful toward Bitcoin and XRP, according to Santiment Intelligence. Data from X, Reddit and Telegram <a href="https://x.com/SantimentData/status/2110039346946461736?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">showed</a> 2.05 bullish ETH comments for every bearish one, compared with 0.82 for Bitcoin and 0.92 for XRP.

<p>Santiment attributed <a href="https://cryptofrontnews.com/ethereum-faces-more-losses-as-spot-demand-weakens/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum’s</a> positive sentiment to its rebound above key support, staking demand and optimism about upcoming network improvements. However, ETH traded at $2,502.88 on Binance’s four-hour chart on October 14, down 0.32% on the latest candle.</p>
<p>Ethereum’s relative strength index stood at 46.31, below its signal average of 47.27 and the neutral 50 level. Meanwhile, its MACD line measured -8.90, above the signal line at -10.22, while the histogram reached 1.33.</p>

<p>These readings suggest improving short-term momentum, although ETH has yet to confirm a stronger recovery. Immediate support lies between $2,450 and $2,480, while resistance sits around 2,550–2,600. A breakout could open a path toward $2,700, whereas a drop below $2,450 could expose $2,400.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-bitcoin-fear-follows-rejection-near-87-000-strong"><strong>Bitcoin Fear Follows Rejection Near $87,000</strong></h2>
<p>Bitcoin recorded just 0.82 bullish comments per bearish comment across the social platforms tracked by Santiment. The firm linked the shift to repeated rejection near $87,000, a decline toward $81,000, heavy long liquidations and macroeconomic pressure.</p>

<p>Despite that sentiment, <a href="https://cryptofrontnews.com/bitcoin-faces-rising-sell-pressure-after-rebound-above-85k/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> outperformed both assets in the comparative performance data. BTC gained 6.60% over the displayed period, compared with Ethereum’s 0.43% increase.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-xrp-fud-deepens-as-price-struggles-strong"><strong>XRP FUD Deepens as Price Struggles</strong></h2>
<p>XRP registered 0.92 bullish comments per bearish comment as the token fell more than 9% over the past week, Santiment reported. Leveraged long liquidations and difficulty reclaiming $1.40 contributed to the negative mood.</p>
<p>The comparative data showed <a href="https://cryptofrontnews.com/xrp-joins-ondo-perps-multi-asset-trading-plat/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> down 2.43%, making it the weakest performer among the three assets. Santiment noted that fear around Bitcoin and XRP could present a contrarian setup if prices recover, contrasting with the crowd excitement surrounding Ethereum.</p>
