AVA/USDT experienced a recent spike to $0.165. Can it be retested in the coming days?

The majority of cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin (BTC), have started on a gradual path of recovering losses experienced during the major market dip of mid-March. When we look at Travala (AVA), the token experienced a new low of $0.06 on the 16th of March. It went on to recover some of its losses with a local top of $0.165 on the 2nd of April. The token is now trading at $0.135 and recent developments by the team might allow the token to retest $0.165 or even allow it to move a bit higher.

Updated Android and iOS

To begin with, the Travala team announced via Telegram that they had updated both the project’s Android and iOS applications.

Partnerships Amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic

A few days back, Crypto Gazette highlighted a bunch of new partnerships that Travala (AVA) had secured amidst the spread of the global Coronavirus pandemic. The 4 new partners include GRNConnect, RateHawk, Restel & Hotusa and Priceline. The fact that Travala has made deals with these major companies is indicative of the continued dedication of the project despite the drawbacks on the travel industry brought about by the global spread of the Coronavirus.

Optimism that the Travel Industry Recover

In a recent blog post, the team at Travala was optimistic that many countries will start flattening the curve in terms of new confirmed cases of COVID19. With China having reopened Wuhan and allowed travel in Hubei province, hope can have a chance in other countries such as the United States, Germany and Italy where their daily cases seem to be experiencing new highs.

The Travala team summarized their outlook regarding the future of the industry as follows:

In the short-to-medium-term as different regions progress through the initial shocks of the pandemic, we expect renewed interest in travel, much in the same way as China experienced. Long term, we have no doubts the travel industry will be back in full swing.
