How do you analyze market trends without getting overwhelmed?

I'm trying to make sense of market trends before putting more money in. Right now I'm just reading random articles and checking stock charts, but honestly, it feels like information overload.

I've been watching some YouTube videos about technical analysis, but there seem to be endless indicators and patterns to learn. How do you experienced investors cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters? What are the key things I should be looking at?
