40% increase!? That's a big call. I think there might be a pump to coincide with the news that Segwit is activated on litecoin, cause that's what pumpers so (make sure their pump coincides with news) - but it will be short-lived, as people simply won't use litecoin for anything.
I said "if it doesn't break below the uptrend line". It isn't a call (prediction). It is an analysis. Although I do think it is likely to not break significantly below the upthrend line, yet this is still not a 100% prediction.
All my money is invested in LTC right now.
