According to data from crypto analysis platform Santiment, XRP has recently 
$86,989.86It exhibits a very different investor psychology than . In particular, fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) levels have risen again for XRP. XRP, which has lost approximately 31% of its value in the last two months, reached the highest negative opinion rate in social media sentiment since October.
Why Has XRP Been Under So Much Pressure In The Last Two Months?
On Santiment’s chart, days of hypersensitivity are marked with colored circles: The red circles, the “greed zone”, represent days when bullish comments are intense. Green circles, the “fear zone”, indicate days when bearish comments are dominant.
It is known that after November 21, the last date when XRP experienced fear pressure at this level, the price increased by 22% in just three days. According to Santiment, the current painting displays a structure similar to that period. This shows that a potential recovery for the XRP price may be on the table.
But this time the picture is more complicated. Because XRP is going through a process in which investor confidence has been damaged due to the failure of the “expected big leap” in the industry for a while.
Why Didn’t ETF Expectations Meet?
One of the most talked about topics on the XRP side was that the price did not achieve the expected momentum even after the launch of spot XRP ETFs. Although giants such as Canary Capital, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale and 21Shares have launched ETF products since mid-November, the XRP price has not been able to make a big breakout.
Moreover, these launches did not even create a “sell the news” effect because there was no significant increase beforehand. The market remained virtually unresponsive to the ETF news.
However, Ripple 
$2.01 CEO Brad Garlinghouse rejects claims that the ETF market is overrated. Garlinghouse underlines that demand is strong, stating that institutional interest in XRP ETFs has already exceeded $700 million.
According to the CEO, this shows that institutional investors who want to access XRP without dealing with custody processes are engaged more intensively than expected.
A similar table on the subject is Ethereum 
$2,804.64 It is also happening on the front. Following the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs in the USA, the price first rose and then experienced a sharp correction, once again revealing how volatile investor expectations are. This suggests that it may be risky for XRP investors to see the ETF effect alone as a “savior”.
As a result, although XRP is currently at the lowest levels of investor psychology, it is known that such fear periods have opened the door to strong rises in the past. Although the ETF effect did not yield the desired results in the short term, increased institutional demand may create a more solid price basis for XRP in the future. From this perspective, XRP has become one of the quietest but most potential coins in the market.
