Market psychology often shifts before price does, and assets tend to surprise the most when the crowd leans too heavily in one direction. XRP now sits in one of those moments. After a sharp two-month pullback and a wave of bearish commentary across social platforms, the token has entered a sentiment zone that historically precedes strong short-term reversals. The question is whether current market pessimism is presenting the same setup seen just weeks ago. Deep Fear Returns as Social Mood Collapses Fresh on-chain behavioral data from Santiment confirms that XRP is experiencing its most intense wave of fear, uncertainty, and doubt since October. The analytics firm tracks the ratio of positive to negative commentary about XRP across major social channels. Recent readings show sentiment plunging into the “Fear Zone,” highlighted by an abnormally high volume of bearish messages overwhelming bullish ones. XRP (-31% in the past 2 months), unlike Bitcoin, is seeing the most fear, uncertainty, & doubt (FUD) since October, according to our social data. Circles indicate days where there are abnormally higher BULLISH comments compared to BEARISH comments, about XRP (Greed Zone)… https://t.co/lJNW8zlRwK pic.twitter.com/ZoFmwrtw3h — Santiment (@santimentfeed) December 4, 2025 Santiment emphasizes that these conditions are rare. They often reflect emotional capitulation rather than rational analysis, particularly after prolonged drawdowns. The current sentiment trough arrives after XRP fell roughly 31% over the past two months, even as Bitcoin remained comparatively stable. A Familiar Pattern: What Happened the Last Time Fear Spiked This is not the first time XRP has sunk into extreme bearish territory. Santiment points to a recent parallel on November 21, when bearish commentary surged to similar levels. Immediately after that sentiment low, XRP rallied 22% in just three days, before greed took hold and the move faded. The newly updated sentiment chart echoes that same structure. Fear has climbed to a near-identical depth, marking what Santiment describes as another potential opportunity to buy against the prevailing crowd narrative—exactly the type of behavior that historically precedes XRP’s sharp counter-moves.

This region has acted as both support and distribution at different points over the past three weeks. Price remains structurally volatile, but sentiment signals suggest the sell-off may be losing emotional force. If XRP holds above the psychological $2.00 threshold, a recovery attempt could track previous fear-driven reversals. However, a failure below this level risks accelerating downside pressure. Balancing Sentiment With Market Context Santiment’s data does not function as a standalone buy signal, but it is an important piece of evidence. Extreme social fear often marks exhaustion rather than continuation. Traders using sentiment should pair it with volume surges, structural support, and macro factors—including liquidity flows and broader crypto market stability. Still, the message from Santiment is clear. XRP is back in the same fear zone that preceded its last rapid rebound. Whether history repeats remains to be seen, but the crowd’s emotional pendulum has swung decisively toward pessimism—right where many reversals begin.
