XRP catches retail skepticism again in a meter that has historically proven to be profitable for counter -betting.
Data from Santiment shows the token’s bullish-to-carried comment relationship slid less than 1.0 twice in the last three days-4. October (0.74) and October 6 (0.86) levels that are historically consistent with fear-driven sales pressure.
😮 XRP sees its highest level of retail fud since Trump’s tariffs were announced 6 months ago. There have been more Bearish comments than Bullish in 2 of the last 3 days, which is generally a promising purchase signal. Markets move opposite small trader expectations. pic.twitter.com/flo7jjlo9m

For context, the last time was the retailer, this was negative six months ago, about the announcement of Trump’s customs plans. This episode preceded a bottom setup where prices later grinded higher even when the comment remained cautious.
Santiment frames the dynamic simply. When small dealers lean too hard on one way, the markets tend to break the other.
September’s top offered the opposite lesson. The 17th overwhelmed Bullish comments with a ratio of 3.21 to 1 – marking euphoric levels that coincided with XRP, peaking over $ 3.14 before slipping back.
The setup highlights the feedback -loopen between narrative and tape. A society that piles in optimism at heights often sets up a turn, while a quantity that leans on despair, while prices stabilize or inches higher, tend to mark the start of another leg.
For XRP, this means that the current wall of FUD can be less a warning and more than a tail wind – whose demand comes in to prove the counter -contraric signal.
