Zach Rector has captured the attention of the XRP army with his interpretation of the digital asset’s recent pullback. He shared a chart showing XRP’s recent 20% drop, which lines up with recent spot ETF launches. He described the fall as a clear reaction to the launch, but sees XRP going in a different direction soon. He added that he increased his own long position and noted that “this is now officially a 20% ‘sell the news’ pullback.” His chart showed XRP sliding toward key technical areas. However, experts believe these ETFs are important for XRP’s price , and anticipate a reversal soon. This is now officially a 20% "sell the news" pullback for XRP after it got its first ETF. Please remember that when this happened for Bitcoin it was the best time to buy in the last 2 years… I added to my XRP Long this morning. pic.twitter.com/ITc1SXm2CS — Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) November 19, 2025 Context From Bitcoin ETFs Rector drew attention to Bitcoin as an example of how traders can react after a major product release. He compared the drop to the start of the Bitcoin ETF period. He reminded traders that Bitcoin had offered what he called “the best time to buy in the last 2 years.” The first spot Bitcoin ETFs went live in January 2024. Bitcoin opened that month at more than $42k. It then fell to $38.5k soon after the launch. The market absorbed that move and shifted upward. Bitcoin later reached $73.7k in March and marked a new high at that time. Traders still cite that sequence because it shows how a sharp price drop can happen before a strong advance . Many XRP supporters now look at that history. They compare the current pullback to the phase that followed the Bitcoin ETF approval. They argue that the present weakness does not negate later strength .

It has struggled to hold gains and still trades below levels seen before the announcement. The lack of immediate strength influenced short-term sentiment. Some traders now wait for clearer signals from volume and liquidity. Others take the decline as an early phase rather than a final verdict on the impact of these products. More ETFs will join the market over the next few weeks, and many see XRP’s current levels as a buying opportunity . Additional launches could enable investors more ways to gain exposure. The presence of new vehicles could widen access. The next stretch of trading will determine whether the current pullback becomes a short-term setback or the base for a longer advance.
