While retail traders on X and Reddit are calling for a "capitulation" this holiday, the on-chain data for $XRP tells a completely different story. If you’re feeling the FUD, you need to see these numbers.
The Performance Reality (As of Dec 25, 2025):
Current Price: $1.86 (Finding a floor after the rejection at $1.90).
24H Movement: Volatility is compressing as the price hovers between $1.85 and $1.88.
The Bottom Line: $XRP is down roughly 16% this month, but it is sitting on a massive support zone that has held firm since April. We are currently trading below the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, which usually scares retail, but look closer at the "Smart Money."
🗣️ What the Internet is Saying:
The Crowd: Santiment data shows social sentiment has plunged into "Extreme Fear." Most comments on Reddit and X are focused on the 50% drop from the July peak of $3.67.
The Smart Money: In a massive divergence, Spot $XRP ETFs have maintained a 33-day inflow streak, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum saw outflows. Total assets in these funds have now officially surpassed $1.25 Billion.
Institutional Signal: While retail is selling out of boredom or fear, institutions like Canary Capital and Bitwise are quietly accumulating via regulated channels.
My Take:
History shows that when social sentiment hits "Extreme Fear" while institutional inflows remain positive, a "Contrarian Bounce" is often the next step. I’m watching for a decisive reclaim of $1.93 to flip this bearish narrative.
Are you folding under the FUD, or are you watching the ETF inflows? Drop a 💎 if you’re holding.
