Help: How should I deploy my >50% Cash position now (feeling FOMO)

Having cashed out more than 50% of my positions earlier this year, I now have > 50% cash position in my portfolio. With the recent market uptrend, it seems like the market bottom had passed me by, what do the experts out there reccommend if I am to redeploy the cash back into the markets?

What are you doing with your cash positions?

Should I pick individual stocks, ETFs, REITS, Cryptos, bonds or continue to hold onto cash until later date?

Just because they rallied one day doesn't mean they wouldn't fall the next 2 days. The treasury yield curve is still inverted and based on past occurrences, inverted yield curves are always a sign of recession to come.
Someone also plotted the 2008 GFC SPY chart with this year's SPY performance and there's an uncanny resemblance.
The above just shows that the future is simply uncertain. If you are aware you have the FOMO mentality, I would advise you to simply DCA into VOO / CSPX. It will smoothen out the volatility and would usually provide positive returns (based on historical trends)
