- The Ripple (XRP) token price has dropped sharply from a recent high of $3 to about $1.80.
- Retail investors are skeptical about XRP reaching new highs before the end of 2025.
- Increased negative social media sentiment around XRP has historically signaled potential price increases.
- An expert known as Dark Defender expects XRP could reach $5 soon, based on technical wave analysis.
The price of the cryptocurrency Ripple (XRP) has fallen significantly from its earlier high near $3 to about $1.80. Retail market sentiment shows growing doubt about the token’s ability to climb again before the end of 2025. This skepticism has led to increased negative commentary about XRP on social media platforms.
According to a recent post by Santiment, a blockchain analytics firm, this rise in negative sentiment often precedes a price increase in XRP. They noted that when retail investors express doubt about a coin’s potential to rise, it frequently results in the price actually moving upward. The firm highlighted the current spike in negative social media discussion around XRP as a potential bullish signal.
An analysis by Dark Defender, a recognized expert on Ripple XRP, suggests that the recent price decline may create a path for the asset to reach $5 in the near future. Using technical analysis based on market waves, “We have been literally following the Wave 4 since 13 February… The Zone of $2.22 – $1.88! We nailed it 100%. And we will continue to nail the $5.85 too! (NFA),” Dark Defender explained. He also stated that despite some assuming a bear market has started, the market behavior could soon shift in XRP’s favor, especially as Bitcoin dominance weakens.
For additional information, XRP sentiment can be monitored on social media tracking sites, and further commentary by Dark Defender is available on his Twitter.
