Ripple has achieved a significant milestone by securing its first license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), allowing the company to offer blockchain-based payment services in the United Arab Emirates. This regulatory approval opens access to a $400 billion trade hub and a $40 billion remittance market, positioning Ripple for expanded cross-border payment operations in the region.
XRP Price Analysis: Potential Bullish Breakout
Despite the positive regulatory news, XRP's price experienced a slight decline of less than 1% over the past 24 hours, trading at $2.2135 with a 7% drop in trading volume to $1.7 billion.
Technical analysis indicates that XRP has broken above the descending resistance line of a descending triangle pattern on the 3-day chart—a formation typically considered bearish. This breakout suggests a potential trend reversal. Currently, XRP is trading below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2.4119, which serves as a resistance level, while remaining above the 200-day SMA at $1.0588. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 49.55, indicating neutral momentum.
