This is very simple; if you understand the Nasdaq market rather than the auction market of NYSE or AMEX. You have many traders in the Nasdaq market. The customer who buys and sells. The broker who handles the trade; but who might buy and sells to his customer from his own account. The trading desk in a full service brokerage or clearing house buys or sells to the customer directly, or first to the broker then to the customer. The listed market makers with the Nasdaq exchange buys or sells to the trading desk. Each one of these people has a bid and ask price depending on whether they are the buyer(ask price) or seller(bid price). Bid is a transaction price when some one sells, ask is buy. Volume is ballooned when more than one person trades to get the customer his shares.

Any other explaination requires the knowledge of who and how many traders you are dealing with.
