Data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment shows that the ratio of positive versus negative comments surrounding XRP fell to 1.856, its lowest point since late January 2025. The chart from Santiment illustrates how this ratio has been deteriorating steadily since mid-September. It dropped from 1.93 on September 19 to 1.44 by October 1 before plunging to 1.01 on October 8 and staying around that level for nearly a week.
This sustained period of pessimism shows shaken confidence among XRP traders during the recent price volatility. However, there are early signs of stabilization. The sentiment ratio has begun to recover slightly, rising to 1.35 at the time of writing. This means that some optimism is returning now that XRP is trying to reclaim $2.5.
If XRP manages to maintain its position above $2.50, it could be interpreted as confirmation of renewed bullish momentum. From here, the next price targets would be earlier support levels at $2.72 and $2.80 in the short term. Stronger bullish momentum would see XRP extend the rally and break above $3.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.4, down by 1% in the past 24 hours.
