LTC's big pump was all about segwit. Litecoin managed to get segwit before Bitcoin due the fact that a lot of miners were delaying it as much as possible. They also made a lot of money in LTC by playing around with their hashrate power during the signaling process... it was really a circus.

Now that segwit is around the corner for BTC, im finding it difficult to defend a long position on LTC, it has nothing to offer for now, so stick to Bitcoin only.
