Whales stopped again the uptrend by pushing the price down and hope weak hands [yadda yadda yadda]

Those whales weren't, by chance, responsible for the $100 spike a few days ago, were they?
That was natural, organic growth due to merchant adoption and sociopolitical macroeconomic fundamentals yadda yadda yadda?

Market anticipation of the halving & natural human "I don't want to miss out" sentiment. Of course it resulted in over-buying & fell back down again.
OP is overstating it, but I agree to an extent.

Markets anticipated the halvening back in 2009. If not for the halvening, Bitcoin would continue inflating at ~10% a year, as it is doing now.
Of course whales are "manipulating" the market, they want to make as much money as possible. That's how the market works, it's not a hippy charity.

"inflating at ~10% a year, as it is doing now" ....
you are not very good at math, are you?

My math is fine, stop flaunting your ignorance. Block reward, the 25BTC created ("printed out of thin air") each time a block is solved? Yeah, that's
monetary inflation.
