Sealed-Bid Auction. What is a 'Sealed-Bid Auction'. A sealed-bid auction is a type of auction process in which all bidders simultaneously submit sealed bids to the auctioneer, so that no bidder knows how much the other auction participants have bid. The highest bidder is usually declared the winner of the bidding process.
Bid volume is selling volume because it has the potential to move the price down. Assume someone is bidding 100 shares at $10.01 and someone is also bidding 100 shares at $10.02. When another trader sells 100 shares to the person at $10.02, that bid will disappear and the new bid will be the lower price of $10.01.
