Data shows the social media sentiment toward XRP has surged to a 5-week high even as mood around Bitcoin and Ethereum remains dull.

XRP Positive/Negative Sentiment Has Shot Up Recently

In a new post on X, analytics firm Santiment has talked about how XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum currently compare in terms of the Positive/Negative Sentiment. This indicator tells us about whether an asset is observing more bullish or bearish comments on the major social media platforms.

The metric works by filtering social media posts/threads/messages for terms related to the cryptocurrency and putting them through a machine-learning model that separates between positive and negative sentiments. It then counts up the number of posts in each category and determines the ratio between them.

When the value of the Positive/Negative Sentiment is greater than 1, it means bullish comments outnumber the bearish ones. On the other hand, the indicator being under this level could indicate the dominance of a negative sentiment among social media users.

Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Positive/Negative Sentiment for three top cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, XRP, and Ethereum.

As displayed in the above graph, Bitcoin and Ethereum have both seen the Positive/Negative Sentiment decline to near-neutral levels recently. Bullish and bearish comments are almost exactly canceling out for the former with the metric sitting at 1.05, while the latter is seeing a slight dominance of positive sentiment with a value of 1.4.

The analytics firm noted:

Crypto markets have struggled to maintain momentum, and social data indicates there are far less bullish comments toward Bitcoin and Ethereum compared to last week.

Meanwhile, the indicator has taken a completely different route for XRP. From the chart, it’s visible that the Positive/Negative Sentiment has recently witnessed a sharp rise for the digital asset ranked fourth by market cap.

XRP has also struggled like the rest of the market recently, so what’s behind the divergence? According to Santiment, it’s likely to lie in the recent partnership expansion announcements.

The wave of bullish comments over the last couple of days has pushed the Positive/Negative Sentiment to 2.35, the highest level in five weeks. If past pattern is to go by, though, this excitement around the asset may not necessarily translate to the cryptocurrency’s price.

Generally, digital asset markets tend to move in the direction that goes contrary to the expectations of the majority. In that view, Bitcoin and Ethereum with their relatively dull sentiments may be better positioned for a rebound than XRP.

XRP Price

At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $1.39, up around 5% in the last seven days.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
