The content is endless and after 1000s of hours and multiple channels, below YT channel is what I have settled for (not necessarily TA specific but has portions of it)

• Trade with Trend - One weekly video on Saturday - Quality stuff
• Mahesh Chandra Kaushik - Ad hoc videos, focuses on ETFs, Investments, has options strategies too and has several books as well. Has recently started a Pathshala series. This guy is a gem

Immensely benefitted from (once in a while viewing nowadays)

• Vivek Bajaj - Learn to Trade and Learn to Invest series (now very commercial)
• Trading with Vivek - Good Content and a positive point of view
• FIRE in India - Presenter's name is Krishnan. Usually enhances mahesh chandra Kaushik's strategies and develops google sheets

Some mentions (because it helped me at certain point of time though I am away from these channels now)

• Power of Stocks - Pure Technical
• Voodoo Intraday Trading - Pure Technical
• Basant Maheshwari - Good way to keep a track of what's happening day to day. Now he has made his channel paid

We have our own learning style. The above suited me, hope it helps you too.

Thanks a lot for the recommendations. Will definitely check them out. The problem is exactly your comment that I have quoted. There are so many channels and videos etc that it becomes overwhelming whom to trust and follow!

There are multiple youtube channels and blogs to read from. Same chart can be interpreted differently when you use different indicators or even some times using the same indicator. So there is no "one right way" to analyse using TA.
I would recommend the topics for you to start with.

1) Different kinds of candlesticks and what do they mean.
2) When you want to analyse a trend you need to look at 3 or more candles to understand things. So that would be next step, what does a bunch of candles say about trend. This is called price action analysis.
3) Pick 3 - 4 indicators and read about them one at a time. Everyone has different ways of using same indicator, so understanding different ways of using it helps.
4) Understand what are the different ways of risk management.

After this start taking trades by risking a small amount per trade and see what indicator/indicators and what time frame chart suits your mindset.
Atleast take 20 trades without moving to any new method and analyse the results of the trades. See if the analysis suggests tweaking some steps to current trade plan or if you need a new trade plan with new indicators or whatever.

Reading/watching videos only can take you so far, real learning happens when you take the trades. But remember initial stage is about learning and loosing less and not making money.

There is no easy way out of this, this is a slow process and at the end you will have your own trade plan that suits your mindset.

My best wishes for your trading journey.

Note: There a thread specifically for technical analysis, you can go through that too.

Just wanted to check what is the opinion of the experts on this group ?

I feel there is going to be another slide in the market. i.e. with Trumps Tariff's very soon US will hit severe shortage of goods, this will bring down their stock market and along with it, it will pull down other indices also.

Even if he lifts the Tariff's, there will be a server deficit in the supply chain. For China to come back to the same level of production that it is now will take time due to their inter dependency with the internal suppliers. Added to that clearing the shipping backlog due to stalled orders also will be another bottleneck.

Equity markets in India are not much to be impacted with the ongoing tussle between US and China, infact Indian markets are seen as safe haven for foreign investors.

BTW I believe in long term markets will bounce back and catch the growth path. All the politicians and business leaders are heavily invested in equity markets and will not sit on the sidelines while markets are losing value. The current downtrend is temporary IMHO.
