AUDUSD Technicals: AUDUSD is having an up and down trading day, but trading back at lows

The AUDUSD has been trading in a choppy up-and-down range today, but pressure is building as the North American session sees fresh intraday lows. The decline has taken the pair back toward yesterday’s low and a swing area between 0.65389 and 0.6544.A break below that zone would open the door for further downside confirmation, with traders eyeing the 100-day moving average at 0.65314 as the next target. Just below, the 61.8% retracement of the rally from the August low at 0.65257 adds another key hurdle. Taken together, those levels mark a critical support cluster that, if broken, would tilt the bias more firmly bearish. Key area for both buyers and sellers.In the video above, I break down the technicals driving this pair into the end of the trading week. Sellers are starting to make a move, but key support levels could slow the downside momentum. I also highlight the areas that would give buyers more confidence if reclaimed, outlining the critical decision points for traders on both sides.

California Makes Euthanasia Law Permanent For Terminally Ill
2025-10-09

California Makes Euthanasia Law Permanent For Terminally Ill

California Makes Euthanasia Law Permanent For Terminally Ill Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times,California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill on Oct. 3 that eliminates the expiration date on the state’s End of Life Option Act, making ongoing access to assisted suicide for adults facing terminal illnesses permanent.Senate Bill 403, takes effect immediately, as it merely repeals a sunset provision in the Health and Safety Code that would have caused the law to expire in 2031.The measure, authored by State Sen. Catherine Blakespear, a Democrat from Encinitas, passed the state Legislature last month with bipartisan support. It cleared the Senate in June on a 26–6 vote and the Assembly in September by a vote of 59–12.Newsom’s signature came without public comment from his office.Under the End of Life Option Act, California residents who are at least 18 years old and diagnosed with a terminal disease expected to cause death within six months can request a prescription for a life-ending pharmaceutical agent from their physician.Patients must be mentally competent, make two verbal requests at least 48 hours apart, submit a written request witnessed by two people, and self-administer the drug.The law includes penalties for coercion or undue influence, which is treated as a felony.The original act was signed into law by then-Gov. Jerry Brown in 2015 and went into effect in June 2016, making California the fifth state to authorize assisted suicide. As of 2025, medical aid in dying (MAID), is legal in Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington state, California, and the District of Columbia.In California in 2024, 1,591 individuals received prescriptions under the program, and 1,032 ingested the drugs to end their lives, according to State Health Department data. That number includes 50 people who had obtained prescriptions before 2024. The majority of participants—about 88 percent—were enrolled in hospice or palliative care at the time, and most were more than 60 years old, with cancer accounting for roughly two-thirds of cases.Earlier efforts aimed to broaden eligibility to include individuals diagnosed with certain neurodegenerative diseases even if their prognosis exceeded six months, but those efforts stalled.Currently, participation is voluntary, and many hospitals opt out. The state health department plans to launch an updated online portal for forms submission later this year to streamline reporting.Opponents of the bill, including the California Family Council, described it as a “slippery slope,” saying that it normalizes suicide. Removing the sunset clause removes one of the bill’s major safeguards, Greg Burt, vice president of the California Family Council, said in a statement.“This bill sends a chilling message that some lives are no longer worth protecting,” he said. “If we make assisted suicide permanent, we are telling the elderly, the disabled, and the depressed that their lives are expendable. That’s not compassion. That’s dehumanizing. That’s abandonment.” Tyler DurdenWed, 10/08/2025 - 22:35

'Insane': Observers stunned by bombshell report on Trump's Truth Social activity

Political observers and analysts were stunned on Wednesday after the Wall Street Journal released a bombshell new report about President Donald Trump's activity on his personal social media network, Truth Social. The Journal reported that Trump meant to send his September 20 post telling Attorney General Pam Bondi that the administration was "losing credibility" by not prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey as a direct message. Instead, Trump posted it publicly, which caused Bondi to move forward with prosecuting Comey, according to the report. The report led observers and analysts to conclude that Trump may be conducting state business on his social media network, which may violate federal law and be used to evade accountability for illicit acts. "I know everyone on this site cares passionately about the information security habits of top Government officials, but the President of the United States communicating with his cabinet via Truth Social direct message is both insane and a violation of the Presidential Records Act," former Obama administration staffer Dan Pfeiffer posted on X. "The president is using direct messages on a private social media app (that he owns) to communicate with his attorney general," journalist Scott Nover posted on X. "There's zero chance that this administration is preserving any of their communications," attorney Kevin Baum posted on X."Mostly i just can’t believe he uses truth social to DM people," former Obama staffer Tommy Vietor posted on X. "Must be convenient for all the foreign intel services." "Pundit accountability: I said it was just Trump being weird and not an errant DM," ex-GOP strategist Tim Miller posted on X. "He’s even stupider than a TDS inflicted podcaster realizes. We regret the error."
