    Most technical indicators use moving averages as their basis.
    I don't see how anyone can say that they aren't useful.
    How you employ them in your own trading strategy may not be useful, but as a calculation and guide of where the market is, makes them always useful.

  4. May not be correct. SP has respected 4216 as support and (so far) 4243 as resistance. (Breaks are valuable info just as are holds.)
