I am slowly increasing my emergency fund (I started it with just 1-2 months expenses), and as it gets bigger, I may use a part of it for an opportunistic buy for really unusual market moves, but I do so with the full knowledge that it’s probably the “wrong” timing, so most of my investing is automated.

No. I invest extra cash when I have it. Don't time the market.

Depends on your personal situation I think. Emergency funds, debts, near term expenses covered, personal safety net well under control?

DCA perhaps a bit more aggressively.

If that's not the case then maybe dca more slowly until they are

Overall time in market > timing the market
