Zach Rector, a prominent crypto analyst on X, has shared a chart suggesting that XRP may be preparing for a substantial move ahead of the pending spot ETF decision in October. He attached a chart that maps out critical support and resistance levels with time-based markers, all pointing to a notable rally before October 17. The chart depicts a period of consolidation following XRP’s surge in July, when it reached an all-time high of $3.65 . Since then, the asset’s price has experienced some turbulence, but has held above the $2.7 support level, with multiple daily closes clustering in that region. XRP Pre-ETF rally $4-$7 by October 17th. pic.twitter.com/c2THfuUenM — Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) August 31, 2025 XRP Key Levels to Watch Horizontal yellow lines mark key levels at $3, $3.66, $4, and ultimately $7.01, which serve as potential upside targets if momentum returns. A large purple zone is highlighted between $4 and $7, aligning with Rector’s suggested range for a pre-ETF breakout. From a technical perspective, the consolidation phase represents an important inflection point. The $2.7 floor has so far acted as a base, while $3, which was previously a support level, now forms the first significant resistance that needs to be overcome for a move higher. A successful breakout above that threshold could clear the path to the $3.66 and $4 levels, where the chart anticipates renewed buying pressure. Timeline for ETF Approval The chart’s timeline is equally relevant. Vertical markers show dates extending into mid-October, with October 17, one day before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is required to decide on multiple spot XRP ETF applications . After multiple delays this summer, final decisions are now expected during the fourth quarter, with mid-October acting as a critical window. The end of the long-running XRP lawsuit removed one of the primary regulatory barriers that had stalled ETF progress for years, and Bloomberg has set the likelihood of spot XRP ETF approval in 2025 at 95% .

Rector’s outlined targets of $4 to $7 correspond to substantial gains from current levels around $2.85, as a move to $4 would represent roughly a 40% increase, while a rally toward $7 would equate to more than a 145% gain. The possibility of a significant pre-ETF rally is not solely speculative. Futures-based XRP products have already seen strong institutional engagement . If spot ETF approval coincides with technical breakout conditions, the asset may surpass those targets and enter the phase of price discovery.
