Greenspan is watching for signs of inflation. Unemployment numbers for Dec were unexpectedly good. If GDP is up around 5% for Q4, the chances of the Fed easing any time soon diminish considerably. An overbought market is going to be impatient for a rate cut. If it doesn't come (and it won't IMO) the pressure to take profits and head for safe harbors will increase.
