    It’s both.

    If you just look at supply and demand graphs.

    Where S is supply, D is demand, N is number of people, I is number of investors, and P is price you’d have:

    1. S[=N+0]=D[=N+0], P-
    2. S[=N+0]<D[=N+I], P▲
    3. S[<N+0]<D[=N+0], P▲
    4. S[<N+0]<D[=N+I], P▲
    5. S[>N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
    6. S[<N+I]<D[=N+I], P▲
    7. S[>N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
    8. S[>N+I]>D[=N+I], P▼
