XRP and Ether Bulls Are Getting Louder as Prices Fall, Signaling More Trouble Ahead

Retail traders are piling into XRP and ether even as both tokens slip, a pattern often seen as a contrarian warning of further short-term downside. According to CoinDesk, Santiment data showed XRP at 3.02 bullish social media comments for every bearish one on Monday, its most positive reading in five weeks; ether was 2.31, while bitcoin was 1.40, which the firm classified as neutral. Santiment said heavy bullishness on XRP or ether while prices dip can add downside risk or slow any rebound, while bitcoin’s flatter sentiment looks healthier. XRP traded near $1.09 on Monday, down on the week.
