I tried playing with Elliott Wave theory on LTCBTC and the medium term prospect looks considerably more bearish than Bitcoin. Still, a huge buying opportunity lies ahead for Litecoin. FWIW.

It is impossible, on the longer term, to count LTC/BTC. It's somewhat of a derivative that is dictated by the BTC/USD price and LTC/USD price. To an Elliott Waver, that chart looks corrective since it has so much overlap, too.
I don't see why it would be impossible for LTCBTC to follow a count. Since Litecoin, like all other major cryptocurrencies with large enough volumes, is inexorably tied to its big brother, it will follow a similar pattern and the LTCBTC trend should therefore be bound by the general EW rules.
I do agree, however, that because LTCBTC trades in much smaller volumes than LTCUSD or LTCCNY, the price won't necessarily follow the Fibonacci retracements and extensions (in the commentary of the article linked above, I did mention that the price could go lower than the 94% retracement). Still, it should follow the general rules of impulsive and corrective waves (5-3, a-b-c etc.).
