XRP is catching again retail skepticism in a meter that has historically proven profitable for contrary bets.
Santiment’s data show that the relationship of upward comments at the time of the file fell less than 1.0 twice in the last three days, on October 4 (0.74) and on October 6 (0.86), levels that historically align with sales pressure based on fear.
😮 XRP is seeing its highest level of retail FUD since Trump tariffs were announced 6 months. There have been further downt comments than Alcistas for 2 of the last 3 days, which is generally a promising purchase signal. The markets move opposite to the small expectations of merchants. pic.twitter.com/flo7jjlo9m

By context, the last time the retail feeling was that this negative was six months ago, around the announcement of Trump’s rates plans. That episode preceded a background configuration, and prices then increased more, even when the comments remained cautious.
Santiment frames the dynamics simply. When small merchants incline too much in one way, markets tend to break the other.
The top of September offered the opposite lesson. On 17, the bullish comments overwhelmed the bassists for a ratio of 3.21 to 1, marking the euphoric levels that coincided with XRP exceeding over $ 3.14 before going back.
The configuration highlights the feedback loop between narrative and tape. A community that accumulates in optimism in maximums often establishes an investment, while a crowd is based on despair, while prices are stabilized or increasingly inches to mark the beginning of another advantage.
For XRP, that means that FUD’s current wall can be less a warning and more a tail wind, if the demand intervenes to demonstrate the opposite signal.
