Crypto News
Santiment’s October 13 reading put XRP at 0.92 bullish comments for every bearish one, up from 0.67 at the start of October but still below parity. XRP’s price fell more than 9% over the week and struggled to reclaim $1.40. Ethereum’s ratio reached 2.05, with bullish commentary running at roughly twice the bearish count.
Why it matters
The figures show a sharp split in online mood: XRP and Bitcoin remain below parity, while Ethereum is the clear social favorite. Santiment linked Ethereum’s bullish reading to its rebound above support, staking demand and expectations for network improvements, and characterized the reading as FOMO territory.
Social sentiment is not a trading-flow measure. Santiment classifies language on X, Reddit and Telegram; those posts do not establish whether large holders are accumulating or selling. A rising XRP ratio can mean pessimism is easing without confirming that buyers have returned.
Market impact
For XRP, $1.40 remains the near-term price test. Leveraged long positions were flushed during the weekly decline, but the available figures do not show how much liquidation pressure remains or whether it has ended. A sustained move above $1.40 would change the immediate technical picture; another failure would leave improving social mood at odds with weak price action.
Earlier activity also offers no clear directional signal. When XRP crossed $1.60 on September 22, the XRP Ledger recorded 1,917 transactions worth at least $100,000 and 3,647 new wallets. Those measures show activity around the rally, but do not establish whether large transfers were purchases, sales or movements between wallets.
