The IOTA Foundation have been working hard lately to promote its technology in the automotive and electronics industries. It’s recent collaboration project with Volkswagen, Digital CarPass, is also nearing completion.

Analysts predict the price of IOTA may experience resistance at $0.61. If it manages to break its monthly high of $0.64 then it could possibly continue as high as $0.79. If a negative trend ensues, however, then it may only get support at $0.54.
IOTA has a current market capitalization of $1.67 billion and average daily volume of $47.9 million, maintaining its place at number 10 on CoinMarketCap.
