Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount regularly, regardless of market conditions. Its main benefits are that it reduces the pressure of trying to time the market, helps manage the impact of market volatility, builds consistent investing habits, and can lower the average purchase price when prices fluctuate. I find it especially useful for people who prefer a simple, disciplined approach rather than constantly watching the market.
