After studying, you'll notice that this chart indicates that it may be time to trade BTC to LTC. 

LTC/BTC Chart

Note that LTC has dropped below the support line vs. BTC, and is now starting to crawl back up. The hardest part of this work is to catch the trade a tthe turn, so catching it just after the turn is really, really good. So trading BTC to LTC now is a bargain, and the turn may have started.

The other the catch is that the pair needs to have a history of teeter tottering, like this:

6 month LTC/BTC Chart

 

These spikes are really high, meaning that a brave trader stands the chance of making investment leaps. And experience will notes that LTC and BTC move against each other quite often.

Now try to get a chart on LTC vs. DOGE. You can't get it. They don't trade with each other.
