Imagine you Lump sum vs you DCA. By DCA are you buying more & more expensive? If u Lump sum, even when is at the peak, it make very little difference over long term. Lump sum you will be more emotional. Becoz if u have $100k. 30% drop is $30k. If you got the cash then lump sum. If no $$$, then no choice DCA. There will be a slight difference in term of % return.

For long-term investing, I strongly advise on DCA, purely based on market climate currently and in the months/years ahead. Looking at macroeconomic factors like the 20-year, 30-year treasury yields, as well as the constant pandering of the Fed not raising interest rates despite inflationary data hanging in the balance between acceptable and ballooning out of control, the trajectory for index-tracked ETFs could be very uncertain for the next 2 to 3 years.

And also, as some others have mentioned, the PE ratios in US indices are really sky high. Do what you think is most rational under these circumstances.​​​
