- XRP sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since October, placing it back in Santiment’s “fear zone,” which historically precedes strong upside reversals.
- Price is trapped between rising support and descending resistance, forming a tightening structure that is starting to strain under pressure.
- If diagonal support fails, $1.90 becomes the key area to defend, while a breakout above resistance could unlock a new bullish phase similar to the 22% surge seen last month.
XRP’s social sentiment has slipped to its lowest level since October, dropping straight back into what Santiment likes to call the “fear zone.” With the market already wobbling and traders acting nervous, the shift has sparked a wave of “what’s next?” conversations across the community. It’s one of those moments where nobody seems fully confident, but everyone is watching closely.
Still, Santiment points out something most people forget when sentiment gets this bad. Historically, whenever XRP falls this deep into fear, a sharp rally tends to show up not long after. The uncertainty is loud right now, sure, but this exact kind of pessimism has been the launchpad for multiple major reversals in the past. It’s almost ironic—XRP usually wakes up when people least expect it.
The last time sentiment hit these lows was Nov. 21. And, almost on cue, XRP ripped 22% higher over the next three days. Of course, greed kicked in after that and the rally cooled off again. But the pattern today looks strangely similar to that setup from two weeks ago, which means another window might be opening quietly in the background.
XRP Price Structure Is Showing Compression
The current XRP chart shows a long-standing rising support line that’s been holding price up for months. But you can see the strain now. Price keeps getting rejected every time it tries to push into the upper resistance band. Meanwhile, two descending resistance lines have been guiding lower highs since mid-year, squeezing XRP tighter and tighter inside a narrowing triangle of pressure.
All that compression has shoved XRP right back into what many traders label the “hold the line” zone—the diagonal support area that’s been keeping the structure alive. But here’s the catch: this diagonal support is nowhere near as strong as the horizontal level at $1.90. That zone has been a real multi-month floor, the kind that doesn’t break easily.
What Happens if XRP Breaks Support?
If the rising diagonal finally gives out, that $1.90 support becomes the crucial battleground. As long as price stays above it, bulls still have a real claim here. But if XRP manages to flip any of those descending resistance lines instead—especially with sentiment buried this deep—the whole structure could unwind upward fast, giving bulls the first real breathing room they’ve had in weeks.
It’s one of those setups where fear is everywhere… but opportunity might be hiding right underneath it.
