Yes, it's definitely premeditated on Solomon's part, especially when we find that the financing shares are finished at just the moment his communication comes out. There would not be that finesse there otherwise.
What's different about the current rise over the other two you cite is that so far it has been more rapid, i.e., happened in fewer days. Perhaps that's a measure of the power behind it. Although it may stall out for a while, personally I can see no reason why it would completely peter out for some weeks or months.
