During sideways trading, what’s most tested isn’t technical analysis skills but psychological resilience. When the market lacks a clear direction, most people gradually lose focus and turn to other forms of entertainment. But it’s precisely during these times that real opportunities are brewing. Successful investors are like cheetahs, staying highly alert beneath the seemingly calm surface, waiting for key signals to appear. Bull markets require restraint, bear markets require persistence. Patience itself is a rare competitive advantage.
