Torn between lump sum and DCA

I'm struggling to decide between investing a lump sum or using DCA to enter the market at high valuations

What I wish I knew
"More about the long-term effects of high PE ratios"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider alternative strategies like debt payoff and DCA to manage risk"
