This indicator measures the ratio between the positive and negative comments related to the asset that are appearing on the major social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The metric works by going through social media posts\/comments\/threads to separate for those making mentions of the cryptocurrency and putting them through a machine-learning model. This model classifies each post as &#8220;positive&#8221; or &#8220;negative.&#8221; The indicator counts up the number of comments in each category and finds the ratio between them.<\/p>\n<p>When the value of the Positive\/Negative Sentiment is greater than 1, it means posts pertaining to a bullish sentiment are dominant on social media. On the other hand, the metric being under the threshold implies a bearish mentality is shared by the majority of users on these platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the XRP Positive\/Negative Sentiment over the last few months:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/G8yCpdVWIAAG3oz?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"XRP Positive\/Negative Sentiment\" width=\"3039\" height=\"1711\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As displayed in the above graph, the XRP Positive\/Negative Sentiment saw a huge spike earlier in the month, implying positive comments related to the coin shot up on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>What followed this burst of optimism among retail traders, however, was a drop in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price. This pattern of the asset going against the crowd expectations is something that has been witnessed in digital asset markets throughout history.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the historical trend, the analytics firm has defined regions where the likelihood of a reversal move becomes notable. The positive sentiment spike witnessed earlier in the year broke into the &#8220;greed zone,&#8221; corresponding to the area where price corrections tend to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Since the plunge in the XRP price, sentiment among retail social media users has deteriorated fast, with the Positive\/Negative Sentiment plummeting all the way to a value of 1.01.<\/p>\n<p>At this value, bearish comments aren&#8217;t dominant yet, but the fact that negative posts are balancing out the positive ones is still something to take note of. In fact, this value is firmly inside Santiment&#8217;s &#8220;fear zone,&#8221; implying that the current degree of bearish sentiment is already significant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Historically, this setup leads to price rises,&#8221; explained the analytics firm. &#8220;When retail has doubts about a coin&#8217;s ability to rise, the rise becomes significantly more likely.&#8221; It now remains to be seen where XRP will go next and whether retail sentiment will play any role.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Price<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $1.90, down 1.3% over the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/duEQNpzc\/\" alt=\"XRP Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"915\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data shows negative sentiment around XRP has seen a rise on social media, a sign that could actually be bullish if history is to go by.
