I think that he bonded his body with his sword (if you look closely at his hand, he seems to have attached his sword to it) and as a result, he can put all his power into his sword so that noone else can sense it.

Well, what I think is that after his training, Ichigo has become something not even Aizen can comprehend, which makes him unable to sense any reiatsu from him. It's the same way it was with Aizen against Isshin, Urahara and Yoruichi when Aizen was in his cocoon state. Isshin said that he can't feel Aizen's reaitsu and it was as though he wasn't there. This is the same. Ichigo is a TRUE hybrid, with potential like no other, and now that he has managed to perfectly balance his shinigami, hollow and human sides, he has ascended to even greater heights than Aizen. Of course, Aizen will still have the advantage because of his experience, his hax shikai, probably an even more hax bankai as well as new powers/abilities he may have obtained after his transformation. But I still think Ichigo will win eventually. He has lost enough times as it is to Aizen, and the chapters are called Deicide, so...Another interesting theory, is that suppressing and masking his reiatsu is because of his bankai. Maybe one of its powers or abilities.I didn't like Aizen underestimating him like this though... He seems to not be as intelligent as he was... =\
