sideways movement
Shifting to side
Movement in a lateral direction—to the side rather than forward, backward, up, or down.
In finance, sideways movement describes a market or stock trading in a narrow range without clear upward or downward trend: The stock showed sideways movement for months before finally breaking out.
In dance, sports, and physical training, it refers to lateral footwork or motion.
