XRP Rebuffed Below $2.93 as Retail Fear Hits Six-Month Peak

Price is testing support after a failed push higher, and Santiment’s data points to a crowd FUD extreme that traders often view as a contrarian signal.

Overview

  • XRP’s intraday breakout was rejected in the $2.92–$2.93 supply zone, and price retreated to about $2.85 on increased volume.
  • Santiment reports the highest negative social sentiment toward XRP in six months, with bearish posts outnumbering bullish on two of the past three tracked days.
  • The bullish-to-bearish ratio slid from 3.21 on September 17 to 0.74 on October 4 and 0.86 on October 6, levels the firm has previously associated with local bottoms.
  • Near-term levels to watch include resistance at $2.88–$2.95 and support at $2.82–$2.80, with technicians warning of a potential drop toward roughly $2.7250 if $2.80 breaks.
  • BNB recently edged past XRP in market value, reflecting relative underperformance as traders also monitor possible regulatory or ETF developments that could shift flows.
