This indicator tells us about how the degree of positive sentiment surrounding a given asset compares to that of the negative one on major social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The metric works by filtering for social media posts\/threads\/messages containing mentions of the asset and putting them through a machine-learning algorithm to separate between bullish and bearish comments. Then, it counts up the number of each and finds their ratio.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Positive\/Negative Sentiment for XRP over the last couple of years:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HFwiH4aWoAAkQsx?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"XRP Positive\/Negative Sentiment\" width=\"3137\" height=\"1761\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As displayed in the above graph, the XRP Positive\/Negative Sentiment shot up to high levels in December and January, implying that social media users became optimistic about a market turnaround following a pause in the bearish momentum.<\/p>\n<p>This optimism, however, didn&#8217;t pay off as the price drawdown picked back up at the end of January. While sentiment initially deteriorated after this decline, the dominance of positive posts returned again, although to a notably lower degree than the earlier highs. This suggests that social media users still didn&#8217;t entirely turn bearish about the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>That is, until the past week rolled around. From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that the Positive\/Negative Sentiment has plummeted for XRP, a potential sign that the drawn-out consolidation has finally broken trader conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the metric is sitting at 1.02, which suggests that there are about as many positive posts related to the asset as negative ones. While this still doesn&#8217;t signal an outright shift to a bearish dominance, it&#8217;s still a pretty low level when compared to the last two years. &#8220;According to our weekly social data for crypto&#8217;s #4 market cap, FUD is at its 3rd highest point in the past 2 years,&#8221; noted the analytics firm.<\/p>\n<p>The two instances in this window where a bearish mentality was more dominant occurred in February and October of last year. Both of these led to price rebounds. This is actually a pattern that has been witnessed time and again in digital asset markets: prices often move against the expectations of the majority.<\/p>\n<p>The effect tends to be the strongest inside the &#8220;FUD&#8221; and &#8220;FOMO&#8221; zones highlighted by Santiment in the chart. The latest decline in the Positive\/Negative Sentiment has taken XRP into the former of the two regions. &#8220;Historically, when bullish comments get replaced by this level of bearish ones, the probability of a relief rally climbs significantly higher,&#8221; explained the analytics firm.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Price<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $1.32, down 1% in the last seven days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/RcMrv3rY\/\" alt=\"XRP Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"957\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data shows the XRP social media sentiment has dropped to its third-worst level in the past two years, a sign that the crowd has turned bearish on the asset.
