XRP ETF Launch Triggers Sharp Sell-Off, Analysts Spot Reversal Setup in Market Patterns

The recent launch of an XRP Spot ETF on November 13, 2025, initially led to a price drop of over 10% for the XRP token, catching many investors off guard. This decline mirrored behavior observed during Bitcoin's own ETF rollout, where a similar post-launch sell-off occurred. Analyst 589bull on X highlighted that this pattern is mechanical rather than emotional, driven by leverage unwinding and hype dissipation after the event.

Further analysis from X Finance Bull points to XRP holding a key support zone, despite a 40% slide from its all-time high of $3.6 in July. The chart indicates that this level has historically triggered upward moves, with fundamentals like expanding partnerships, cross-border settlement trials, and ecosystem growth on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) supporting long-term resilience. Both analysts emphasize that such dips are part of a natural cycle, flushing out weak positions and setting the stage for potential reversals, as seen in previous ETF cycles.
