XRP sentiment among retail investors has declined to severe lows as fear and doubt continue to plague the market. The cryptocurrency has seen continuous declines in its price since reaching a high above $3 in 2025. This poor performance has triggered rapid sell-offs and weakened XRP’s market structure to the point that its short-term direction remains uncertain. Nevertheless, new reports suggest that XRP is now sitting at sentiment levels that previously preceded massive price rallies. If historical trends repeat perfectly, the cryptocurrency could be gearing up for a highly anticipated price reversal. Sentiment Hit Levels Tied To Past Rallies In an X post on April 13, the market intelligence platform Santiment disclosed that XRP’s Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) has reached its third-highest level in the past two years. Retail investors appear to be shifting away from the cryptocurrency as its price has continued to trend downward and consolidate at lower levels for months. Related Reading: It’s Too Early For A Bitcoin Price Bottom, Here’s What You Should Be Looking At Interestingly, Santiment’s data shows that the rising fear and uncertainty over XRP’s price outlook may not be entirely negative. In the X post, Santiment noted that historically, when bullish comments about XRP get replaced by this high level of bearishness, the probability of a relief rally increases significantly. The market intelligence platform noted that the reason for this contradictory reaction is that prices tend to move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. The accompanying chart shows that in February 2025, XRP experienced similar levels of bearishness and then rebounded sharply. The same trend was observed in October 2025, before the cryptocurrency skyrocketed. With most retail investors finally turning their backs on XRP after it crashed by more than 63% in nine months, Santiment reveals that this kind of signal could be capitalized on if investors wait longer. If historical trends play out as the market intelligence platform suggests, then XRP could be preparing for a major bullish reversal soon. XRP Sparks Another Brief Rally XRP has experienced a brief bounce, climbing more than 3% in the last 24 hours and over 4% over the past seven days. However, this increase has been unable to drive its price back toward the $1.4 resistance level. Related Reading: Why A Bitcoin Price Breakdown To $50,000 Could Be Important For Long-Term Bullishness Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the XRP price rose this week primarily due to a broader crypto rally led by Bitcoin. The surge in Bitcoin’s price was fueled by dovish signals from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) that slightly eased macro pressure on risk assets. Aside from these developments, XRP currently lacks strong bullish catalysts to drive its price higher. The cryptocurrency’s weak structure, combined with ongoing geopolitical tensions, has been a major contributor to investors’ negative sentiment and growing panic.
