XRP Impressive Comeback After Sentiment Slump, Says Santiment
XRP surged more than 13% in 24 hours, staging what blockchain analytics firm Santiment called an “impressive comeback” after the token’s market sentiment had dropped to notably bearish levels.
XRP’s Sharp Rebound After Sentiment Bottomed Out
TLDR
- XRP posted a 13%+ gain in a single 24-hour window
- Santiment flagged the rally as a comeback from a major sentiment slump
- Large XRP wallets had been consistently accumulating before the move
The double-digit rally came after XRP sentiment fell to an eight-month low, a level that has historically preceded price recoveries for the token. The speed of the reversal caught many traders off guard.
The move unfolded while broader crypto markets were also seeing activity, with institutional players like Strategy continuing to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet and BlackRock preparing new crypto ETF products.
Why Santiment Flagged the Move
Santiment, an on-chain and social analytics platform, highlighted the rally as significant because it followed a prolonged period of negative crowd sentiment. According to a Santiment insight report, the largest XRP wallets had been steadily accumulating tokens even as smaller holders turned bearish.
That accumulation pattern, where large wallets buy into weakness while retail sentiment deteriorates, has preceded recoveries in XRP before. Santiment noted that these major holders were “rewarded” for their consistent buying.
The sentiment slump that preceded the rally was not a minor dip. Crowd mood around XRP had reached its lowest point in eight months, suggesting widespread pessimism before the sharp reversal.
What the Rally Means for Near-Term XRP Attention
A 13% single-day move naturally draws renewed trader and analyst attention to a token that had been falling out of favor. The rally shifted the short-term conversation around XRP from bearish exhaustion to active momentum.
Whether the recovery holds will depend on whether accumulation by large wallets continues and whether broader market conditions, including developments like evolving U.S. crypto regulatory posture, remain supportive. For now, the sentiment reversal marks a clear inflection point in XRP’s near-term trajectory.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
