Couldn't it reverse right where we are now? Selling pressure seems to building up and buying pressure doesn't seem that strong except for a whale push once in a while. If a few whales start dumping it could start an avalanche right now imo. Anyway it looks harder to push up than down atm, I think we may see a pullback to 110-120 first before going up further.

No, IMO this was a preemptive buy, by a whale who expects an upcoming larger buy. He thought 'why buy above 150$ when I can buy below 149$'.
And if the expected larger buy smashes through the 150$ resistance level, that was a good move, for a whale who still had $ to spend.
I suspect most whales are full coins now, and $ may be running out faster than coins. Anyway, small players' $ are running out, and about
hypothetical billionaires' $, those are unknown and unlikely to run out anytime soon ( if they are present ).

And whale strikes today as predicted, but I doubt it's the smart whale, doesn't fit the MO, should have waited just a bit longer.

Are you saying he already struck?

Yup, big whales eat slightly smaller whales, they don't care that much about the minnows. This is what the game of "The Biggest Fish" is all about. They are after the biggest trade, on the biggest move, because that is the best they can do to keep their positions from being overrun. 
How many BTC do you think these whales have? How are they distributed at the top?

Thanks for the info. Being in Europe, I am fully on Bitstamp, so I always have to mentally adjust the prices when people talk about them on the forums, as the majority is still referencing Gox by default.

On Bitstamp, during these last 2 push-ups all you had to do was to panic buy after the move on Gox, there was plenty on the ask side ( no smart whale buy as on Gox ).
And then sell sometime at the upper price level. Then just wait for another push-up, if it happened just repeat panic buy, if it didn't you had nothing to lose.

You seem to believe that the smart whale wants to accumulate coins. I don't think so. I believe he has already accumulated
lots of coins at sub 100 prices and now it's just a game of selling to suckers at the highest possible price. We'll see soon enough.

I still don't get why you want to assign responsibility for all movements to a single entity.  There is more than one whale in this ocean.

I firmly believe there is one smart whale triggering the upward moves ( pumping up the price ), other whales panic buy and then minnows panic buy.
If the smart whale wouldn't make the triggering move, market movement upward would be slower ( lower slope ) and of lower amplitude.

I think you will be stupid if you buy 20k btc @ $135 and then you will sell them @ $120
