Volatility causes news. News causes rises and falls, which cause news and volatility. Rises cause sell orders; falls cause buy orders (and sell orders). News also causes people to think "I should finally get in on this bitcoin thing" which causes buy orders. Buy and sell orders cause activity and traffic on the exchange sites.
All that being said, DDOSing and pump-and-dumps may be happening too.
