Crypto analytics firm Santiment shared its <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SantimentData\/status\/2110039346946461736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin and XRP sentiment readings<\/a> on X on Oct. 13, recording 0.82 bullish comments per bearish one for bitcoin and 0.92 for XRP across X, Reddit, and Telegram. That translates to about 82 and 92 optimistic remarks for every 100 pessimistic ones, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/app.santiment.net\/insights\/read\/ethereum-fomo-surges-while-bitcoin-and-xrp-turn-fearful-11262\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">comparison of XRP, bitcoin, and <\/a><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.santiment.net\/insights\/read\/ethereum-fomo-surges-while-bitcoin-and-xrp-turn-fearful-11262\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ether<\/a> placed<\/span> XRP in a state of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, commonly called FUD. Santiment stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cXRP is also deep in FUD at just 0.92 bullish comments per bearish one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The firm added: \u201cXRP has fallen more than 9% over the past week, with leveraged longs getting flushed and the $1.40 area proving difficult to reclaim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s bearish tone came after repeated rejection near $87,000, a retreat toward $81,000, and heavy long liquidations, with broader economic pressure also weighing on confidence. The shift followed bitcoin\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-fomo-hits-two-year-high-after-87k-breakout\/\">earlier positive sentiment spike<\/a> on Sept. 21, its strongest since December 2024, when the cryptocurrency exceeded $87,300.<\/p>\n<p>Both readings sit below the 1.0 threshold where bullish and bearish comments would be equally numerous. Ethereum\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/xrp-sentiment-turns-bearish-as-bullish-to-bearish-ratio-hits-0-67\/\">earlier sentiment ratio of 0.89<\/a> on Oct. 1 was also below parity, before ether became the crowd favorite on social media.<\/p>\n<p>XRP\u2019s September rally coincided with increased activity on its blockchain before the latest price downturn. As the token crossed $1.60 on Sept. 22, Santiment counted <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/xrp-tops-1-60-as-1917-whale-transactions-hit-monthly-high\/\">1,917 XRP transactions worth at least $100,000<\/a>. Large transfers can represent purchases, sales, or movements between wallets. The same update logged 3,647 new wallets on the XRP Ledger.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_855760\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-855760\" style=\"width:2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-855760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santiment\u2019s Oct. 13 chart compares bullish-to-bearish commentary ratios for bitcoin, ether, and XRP alongside bitcoin\u2019s price. Source: Santiment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Ethereum Optimism Contrasts With XRP and Bitcoin Fear<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum attracted 2.05 optimistic remarks for every pessimistic one, a result Santiment characterized as fear of missing out, or FOMO. The firm associated that enthusiasm with a rebound above support, staking demand, and expectations for network improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Santiment offered a contrarian interpretation:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cFrom a contrarian perspective, BTC and XRP\u2019s fear is healthier than ETH\u2019s crowd excitement if prices begin recovering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ether, or ETH, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/ethereum\/eth-core\/what-is-ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ethereum\u2019s native cryptocurrency<\/a> and pays transaction fees on the network.
