XRP, Bitcoin Sentiment Remains Very Positive: Bad Sign For Price?

Data shows the sentiment around XRP and Bitcoin is quite bullish currently, something that can actually be to the detriment of their prices. XRP & Bitcoin Among Coins Observing Positive Sentiment Right Now According to data from the analytics firm Santiment, the top cap cryptocurrencies are mainly observing the investors hold a bullish outlook. The indicator of interest here is the “Weighted Sentiment,” which basically tells us about the net sentiment around an asset that’s currently present on social media platforms. Related Reading: Bitcoin Makes Third Retest Of Historical Support, Analyst Sounds Alarm The “weighted” in its name comes from the fact that it weighs the sentiment present in the market (the Sentiment Balance) against the amount of discussion that’s happening on social media (the Social Volume). Because of this feature, this indicator’s value only registers a spike when not only is the crowd tending heavily towards one side as determined by Santiment’s machine-learning model, but also a large amount of posts/threads/messages exist on social media expressing such sentiment. The advantage of this adjustment is that the indicator is better able to portray what the actual situation in the market is like, as it doesn’t go by the opinion of only a few users (as would be the case in periods where traffic is low). Naturally, positive spikes in the Weighted Sentiment imply investors are bullish right now, while negative ones imply a bearish market. Values around zero suggest either there aren’t enough discussions happening on social media or the users as a whole are simply neutral. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in this indicator for the five top assets in the sector, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB (BNB), XRP (XRP), and Solana (SOL), over the past few months: As displayed in the above graph, Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, and Ethereum, all have seen the Weighted Sentiment spike into positive territory recently, and these levels have so far persisted into the latest market downturn. This would imply that social media users hold a bullish sentiment around these coins right now. Bitcoin and XRP particularly stand out in terms of this, as the indicator for them is at the highest levels in 17 months and 14 months, respectively. Related Reading: Ethereum Seeing High Exchange Outflows, But Watch Out For This Bearish Signal BNB is the only cryptocurrency out of these that has the Weighted Sentiment in the negative territory, although the investors currently only hold a slightly fearful sentiment. This negative sentiment may actually play into the favor of BNB, however, as markets have historically been more probable to move in the opposite direction to what the crowd is expecting. Naturally, this means that the highly positive sentiment around Bitcoin and XRP could be bearish for their prices instead. XRP Price XRP has extended its drawdown during the past 24 hours with a drop of 6%, which has taken its price to $0.57. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
