Bitcoin Stalls as XRP Bullish Sentiment Flares Up After 5 Weeks

While market interest in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) shows signs of cooling, investor optimism toward XRP has climbed to its highest level in five weeks.

According to NewsBTC, blockchain analytics firm Santiment reported that an analysis of cryptocurrency-related discussions on social media found XRP’s social bullish sentiment has reached its highest level in over a month. This contrasts with the relatively stagnant social indicators for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Santiment measures market sentiment by tracking the ratio of positive to negative mentions of specific assets on social media. Recent discussions surrounding XRP have been dominated by expectations of a price recovery and optimistic outlooks on ecosystem expansion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum, the top two cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, have seen a decline in discussion volume and enthusiasm on social platforms as their sideways price movement drags on.

The surge in market sentiment is supported by XRP’s firm price support level. Recently, XRP successfully defended the $1.40 range, laying the groundwork for a rebound. This bullish tone on social media is not only stimulating retail investors’ buying interest but also contributing to a rise in the broader Advanced Sentiment Index.

Veteran investors interpret sharp increases in social metrics as signals of expanding volatility. In the past, surges in social interest around specific coins have often been followed by significant price swings. In particular, when major coins struggle to establish direction, pronounced social strength in altcoins is sometimes viewed as a sign of capital rotation.

Currently, XRP is attempting to break through key resistance levels amid heightened attention on social media. Investors are closely monitoring whether the bullish social sentiment highlighted by Santiment will translate into increased trading volume and further price gains.
