Lump sum bonus into market or DCA?

Got first bonus a few weeks ago and have been trying to figure out how to invest it. Question speaks for itself, let’s here everyone’s takes. I think i plan to DCA over 6 months, but open to being convinced otherwise.

Mathematically it’s almost always better to lump sum but if it gives you peace of mind to DCA I think that’s worth it.
