How does 'Tape Acceleration' differ in meaning between a liquid market (like ES) and a thin market?
- In liquid markets it usually indicates institutional urgency; in thin markets it can be a single small participant.

- Tape acceleration only occurs in liquid markets and is impossible in thin ones.
- It means the same thing in both markets and always indicates a reversal.
