The planets scattered the majority of the small icy bodies inwards, while themselves moving outwards. These planetesimals then scattered off the next planet they encountered in a similar manner, moving the planets' orbits outwards while they moved inwards.

This caused Jupiter to move slightly inward. Those objects scattered by Jupiter into highly elliptical
