As an analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets, I’ve seen my fair share of market volatility and sentiment swings. The current uncertainty in the cryptocurrency market, particularly for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Ripple, is not unprecedented but it certainly warrants attention.
TL;DR
- It appears that the market uncertainty and negative sentiment are on the rise, especially for Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ripple (XRP).
However, some analysts remain optimistic about XRP despite the current conditions.
The ‘Top’ 20 List
Despite my optimistic outlook, it seems that the crypto market stumbled at the start of October, marking a significant correction. The momentum that some top cryptocurrencies had built up towards the end of September appears to have waned, causing them to dip into the negative territory on my investment charts.
The crypto analysis platform, Santiment, disclosed the top 20 digital currencies that have been subject to the most unfavorable scrutiny amidst the recent market downturn.
In the initial ranking, Chainlink (LINK) took the lead with a negative sentiment score of -0.57. Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) came in second and third with respective scores of -0.47 and -0.45.
The entity clarified their approach as follows: They calculate a balanced measurement called ‘Weighted Sentiment’ which takes into account the amount of discussion around an asset on various platforms such as X, Reddit, Telegram, 4Chan, and Bitcointalk. This calculation also includes multiplying this volume by the proportion of positive comments compared to negative ones regarding that particular asset.
Among other notable cryptocurrencies on the list are Solana, Ripple, Polygon, Cardano, Floki Inu, Pepe, Tron, and a few others.
As a researcher, I’ve observed that my study subject, XRP, experienced a significant downturn at the onset of October. The digital currency plummeted by double digits to reach as low as $0.51, following the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) appeal in the lawsuit against Ripple. However, since then, XRP has been making efforts to regain some of its lost ground, currently trading at approximately $0.52, according to data from CoinGecko.
However, it is not all bad news. According to Santiment, “coins with the most bearish crowd narratives historically have the best chance of rising.”
XRP Price Predictions
Regardless of its recent setback, the asset has sparked a flurry of positive predictions recently. The well-known user Dark Defender asserted that the developments in the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit had only a minor influence on XRP, with its value primarily determined by technical factors.
When Heikin Ashi Candles (candles that represent the average price, currently at $0.57) are taken into account, the monthly average price tends to stay above the crucial support level, which is essential for XRP to maintain its upward trend. This bullish outlook is reinforced by the MACD indicator, where XRP displays a green dot on the monthly time frame. I am quite optimistic about XRP and anticipate it will follow this pattern.
EGRAG CRYPTO exhibited increased optimism, forecasting a significant increase in the token’s value, potentially reaching over $5 within the upcoming months.
