- Santiment data shows XRP firmly in the “fear zone,” with bearish commentary far outweighing bullish activity.
- Analysts warn of weakening market structure, noting that XRP trades under key resistance levels and a potential breakdown under $2.
XRP has seen its social sentiment drop significantly, amid a 31% price correction over the last two months. Even today, the XRP price faces a major drop and is once again testing the crucial support at $2.0. The sentiment near the cryptocurrency has hit a new low since October 2025.
XRP Fear Sentiment Peaks Amid Price Drop
Blockchain analytics platform Santiment says XRP is experiencing its highest levels of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) since October 2025. This comes after a 31% decline over the past two months.
As per the social metrics shared by Santiment, the bearish commentary on XRP has sharply exceeded bullish discussion. This has pushed the XRP in the “fear zone.”
As shown in the above figure, the sentiment indicator shows two different extremes. The red markers indicate unusually high bullish comments (“greed zone”) and green markers show abnormally high bearish comments (“fear zone”).
Santiment reported that the last time XRP reached a similar level of fear, on November 21, the price rallied by 22% within three days before sentiment flipped to greed. Thus, it noted that current conditions may present a similar setup. It indicates a potential opportunity if market sentiment follows past patterns.
XRP Faces A Litmus Test
XRP price remains under pressure near the lower end of the $2 range as broader market sentiment stays fragile. The token is trading at $2.08, down more than 3% so far in December, with bears attempting to push the price below the key $2 support level.
Analyst Mr. Xoom noted that XRP’s market structure remains weak despite the brief relief rally on December 2–3, which produced an 8% gain. He added that many crypto assets are currently positioned just beneath major resistance zones.
According to the analysis, a descending trendline from XRP’s summer peak continues to dictate price action and coincides with a potential downside target near $1.35. This outlook becomes more likely if XRP loses the critical $1.85–$2.00 support range.
On the other hand, spot XRP ETF inflows have remained in the positive territory for 14 consecutive days in a row. Within a month of launch, the flows across all four ETFs, have reached past $850 million, and is approaching the $1 billion milestone very fast.
Meanwhile, the flows into Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum ETFs have flipped into the negative territory. This shows that institutional sentiment is currently leaning in favour of XRP.
