The sentiment of XRP is much higher than Bitcoin and Ethereum: the coin
Despite the crypto market crash that saw Bitcoin fall to $70,000, XRP sentiment on social media remained relatively strong.
“XRP is seeing more optimism among traders” on social media, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have become “extremely bearish” after big falls, Sentiment said on XPost on Wednesday.
The sentiment positive/negative sentiment indicator, which measures the ratio of positive to negative social media mentions for a cryptoasset, shows that XRP (XRP) has a score of 2.19, 103% higher than Ethereum's 1.08 and 173% higher than Bitcoin's 0.80.
According to CoinMarketCap, the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum decreased by 4.97% and 4.92% in the last seven days. XRP fell further, down 6.82% over the same period.
SwiftX lead analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph on Wednesday that XRP holders “wear volatility in a different way.
XRP owners say they have “unwavering faith” in the fundamentals of the asset, arguing that “XRP does not move wildly outside the bounds of the rest of the market,” so they have little doubt about its demise.
A short-term “rally of relief” may be in sight.
“The coming weeks look tough,” Handal said, emphasizing that XRP is “still down” 35.5% over the past 30 days.
Sentiment argued that panic could lead to market volatility.
“There is a strong argument for a short-term rally as long as a small group of traders continue to distrust the cryptocurrency as a whole,” Sentiment said.
Alternative.me's Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, posted an “extreme fear” score of 12, the lowest since December 16, indicating heightened caution among investors.
The “full blown crypto winter” may be coming to an end.
Other indicators point to the same caution, with CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index currently at 32 out of 100 in “Bitcoin Season”, investors continue to prefer Bitcoin over the risky cryptocurrencies coming down the curve.
