The social and weighted sentiment for XRP has crashed to its lowest level in 2026, with bearish voices dominating.
As of June 16, the XRP Weighted Sentiment, a metric that combines the volume of social mentions with the balance of positive versus negative commentary, had reached its lowest level of 2026, according to data from Santiment. The token’s weighted sentiment, combined with social volume, had dropped to -0.908 at press time.
As a result, this metric has returned to the same level it was in October 2025. The current sentiment drop could be driven by emotional exhaustion amid XRP price sell-off, rather than fundamental deterioration.
Furthermore, the XRP price recently dropped to its lowest level since November 2024, around $1.05, heightening fears of further capitulation. However, large investors holding at least 1 million units have added approximately 1.53 billion tokens over the last six months, as Finbold reported.
Additionally, XRP Ledger (XRPL) activity has experienced steady growth over the past months, hitting a new all-time high, as Finbold explained.
What’s next for XRP price amid negative weighted sentiment
As the token’s social sentiment has crashed to its lowest level in the past few days, the altcoin has signaled a potential reversal. Over the past seven days, the token’s price gained about 7.96%, trading at $1.23 at the time of reporting.
According to Santiment, the XRP price has historically experienced reversals and relief rallies after extreme fear. Consequently, Finbold AI Agent – an advanced financial assistance tool – predicted a further upsurge in the near future.
The Finbold AI Agent predicted that token’s price could gain around 2% to reach $1.25 on June 23. The AI’s midterm prediction could be bolstered if the token’s social sentiment remains negative amid rising demand from whale investors.
