i do agree that moving sideways is the most hardest situation on where you do decide whether you do buy or sell specially if you arent seeing those sentiments around then you would really be finding it to be a big problem.
I do not call that sideways market is the hardest part of bitcoin market for both traders and investors. Because, traders might love the range bound markets to buy and sell at same kind of levels to profits on daily basis whereas for investors who have been holding bitcoin for years definitely might have seen similar situations where bitcoin usually launch its bullish rally after a sideways market.
