Does only inactivity affect RD?

Hi everybody,

I play daily Blitz and rapid-games. And for a while now, my rating dropped or increased with +/-8.
Today suddenly, the fluctuation was +/- 25 for blitz games.

My activity hasn't changed. I am, however, reading chess books on the side and have been feeling that my tactics have improved. My rating in rapid is slowly increasing, not in blitz.
So I am wondering if the Glicko-system also analyses tactics? I don't see any other reason why the fluctuation would have changed.

Just interested in the system, not complaining ^^

Current Rapid rating: 787
W/D/L % = 63/7/30 and won last 5 rapid games
Current Blitz rating: 726

Thanks!
