According to Santiment, the world&#8217;s largest altcoin by market cap has 2.05 bullish comments for every bearish comment across X, Reddit, and Telegram.<\/p>\n<p>The shift comes as ETH trades above key support, and traders are watching staking demand and upcoming network upgrades.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ethereum-fomo\">Ethereum FOMO<\/h2>\n<p>The same cannot be said for Bitcoin, however, as it struggles to attract the same confidence. Its bullish-to-bearish comment ratio has dropped to 0.82. Repeated rejection near $87,000, a brief plunge toward $81,000, and heavy long liquidations have added to market concerns.<\/p>\n<p>XRP is also under pressure as it recorded a sentiment ratio of 0.92. The token has fallen more than 9% over the past week, while the $1.40 level remains difficult to reclaim. Santiment <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SantimentData\/status\/2110039346946461736\">explained<\/a> that this contrast could matter if prices recover. While fear around Bitcoin and XRP could create opportunities for a possible rebound, high optimism around Ethereum may <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-eth-correction-deepens-but-binance-withdrawals-tell-another-story\/\">signal<\/a> overheating,<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Crypto Patel <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2110045649664344575\">sees<\/a> an ambitious upside for Ethereum. The analyst set a long-term target of $15,000 for the current bull cycle. The $1,600 to $2,000 range was identified as a potential re-accumulation zone, with intermediate targets at $3,270, $4,892, and $10,000.<\/p>\n<p>According to Crypto Patel, a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-eth-flashes-a-major-bullish-signal-the-beginning-of-a-massive-rally\/\">confirmed<\/a> breakout above $4,892 could open the door to a broader rally. However, ETH will need to hold key support levels and overcome resistance to keep that outlook alive.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mixed-picture\">Mixed Picture<\/h2>\n<p>Spot Ethereum ETFs finally saw some money come in after ten straight days of outflows. The funds recorded $24.84 million in net inflows on October 13th, which, interestingly, was their only positive day so far in October. Grayscale&#8217;s ETH fund led the gains with $16.3 million, while Fidelity&#8217;s FETH raked in another $8.11 million. Other funds posted no flows for the day.<\/p>\n<p>The rebound is a welcome change, but it has barely made a dent in the recent withdrawals. These ETFs still have around $695 million in net outflows so far in October, as investor demand remains under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>A similar trend was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-etf-weekly-outflows-hit-3-month-high-ethereum-funds-extend-losing-streak\/\">seen<\/a> across spot Bitcoin ETFs, which collectively attracted $175.6 million. Meanwhile, XRP funds <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrps-rally-faces-a-reality-check-as-spot-trading-activity-dries-up\/\">recorded<\/a> no flows for three straight days.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/eth-becomes-the-crowd-favorite-as-btc-slides-and-xrp-struggles\/\">ETH Becomes the Crowd Favorite as BTC Slides and XRP Struggles<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/eth-becomes-the-crowd-favorite-as-btc-slides-and-xrp-struggles\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ethereum is getting most of the attention from crypto traders, while Bitcoin and XRP are facing growing fear.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
