The same thing can be seen on the long side where the majority feels as if it has missed out on a major market or stock move and can t stand to see it rise more without it. This brings in majority buying and euphoria until buying becomes exhausted. The minority then begins to distribute shares to the crowd buyers from positions it has accumulated at lower levels. The best example of this can be seen in the 1998-2000 move from Nasdaq 1500 to 5100 and then back down to 1600 and back up to 2300.

As a rule smart money action can be seen as a slow gradual price movement with steady or slowly increasing volume. The public
