XRP Sentiment Hits Extreme Fear as Traders Flock to DeepSnitch AI Presale Amid Market Uncertainty

Social sentiment surrounding XRP has collapsed into "deep fear territory," according to the latest data from analytics firm Santiment. The firm notes this is the strongest wave of fear and uncertainty for XRP since October. Historically, such extreme sentiment lows have preceded significant rallies; the last time sentiment dropped to this level on November 21, the token surged 22% within three days. Analysts now describe this as a familiar setup for a potential upside move.

XRP's price has slipped 4.6% in the past 24 hours, trading below $2.10, which is 42% down from its July 2025 all-time high. Traders are closely watching the $2 level, viewing current capitulation zones as a potential base for the next upward push. Inflows into XRP ETFs have slowed to $12.8 million, the lowest since November 21, though total assets across the funds remain at $881 million. Institutional flows remain positive month-to-date, reinforcing bullish scenarios in major price prediction models, with some analysts forecasting a run back towards $3 by early 2026.

Amid this volatility, the AI-powered crypto intelligence project DeepSnitch AI is emerging as a major beneficiary. Its presale has crossed $678,000, with the token price climbing 74%. Traders are reportedly moving towards its platform, seeking concrete intelligence tools like live agents that track whale wallets and sentiment changes in real-time to navigate uncertain markets. The project has rolled out functional AI agents—SnitchGPT, SnitchFeed, and SnitchScan—for presale holders, providing real-time market intelligence.

The broader altcoin market may be poised for a turnaround as quantitative tightening concludes. Market expert CryptoRus noted that the Federal Reserve has stopped draining liquidity from the system for the first time since 2022, potentially setting the stage for capital rotation back into risk assets like altcoins. The TOTAL3 altcoin market-cap index is trading on a key multi-year ascending trendline, similar to patterns seen before major bull runs in 2017 and 2021.

Other altcoins mentioned include Cardano (ADA), which is seen as a stable accumulation-phase asset trading around $0.41, with predictions suggesting it could reach $0.562 in 2026. Solana (SOL) is trading around $133, with analysts forecasting an average price of $157 for 2026. However, the narrative heavily favors DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) as a high-potential, low-cap play, with whispers of a possible 100x return upon its anticipated exchange listing on January 31, 2026. The project is currently running a bonus program for presale participants until January 1.
