Sentiment Decline May Signal Rally Potential

According to Santiment, the social data indicates that XRP is experiencing a significant level of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) similar to trends observed last November, when the token promptly rallied by 22% in the following days. Currently, XRP has fallen by 4.6% in the last 24 hours, trading below the $2.10 mark, marking it as the worst performer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The token's value is notably 42% lower than its record high reached in July 2025.

Analysts Remain Optimistic

Despite the decline in XRP's social sentiment, several crypto analysts agree with Santiment's perspective that this situation is far from bearish. Justin d’Anethan, the head of research at Arctic Digital, noted that XRP is "looking less like a ripple and more like a puddle." He explains that traders currently perceive price movements as lacking conviction and approaching a capitulation zone, particularly around the $2 mark.

Nick Ruck, the director at LVRG Research, added that "despite the bear market, XRP is holding firmly above its crucial $2 level," driven by bullish momentum as institutional investments into spot ETFs exceed $750 million this month alone.

Slowing Inflows into Spot XRP ETFs

This week, net inflows into spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have decreased significantly. On Thursday, only $12.8 million flowed into the market, marking the lowest influx since November 21, according to SoSoValue.
