Investors approach timing their investments differently according to their personal goals what they want to achieve and how much risk they can handle.

Some of us use DCA which makes investing simpler and less emotional since they are not trying to guess market ups and downs.

Others prefer lump sum investing which can pay off big in rising market but risks investing at bad time. For those who can afford it mixing these strategies can be smart as market is famously unpredictable making it hard to know perfect time to buy or sell.

Because of this unpredictability especially for beginners it is mostly best to invest consistently when you have funds ready other than waiting for ideal market conditions since past market performance does not guarantee future results. This helps new investors avoid getting stuck trying to perfectly time market.
