Buying VTSAX on the way down after a large sell off in Feburary?

So I got incredibly lucky with a bad hunch with tariffs and federal worker layoffs and sold off 100k worth of VTSAX from my 401k and Roth IRA on February 14th. I now have 100k in cash sitting between both of those accounts and the market is down around 8% since that point. I am now considering starting to buy back what I sold off.

Should I just lump sum it all back into the market, or buy in chunks over the next month (25k at a time?). I don't think this is the true bottom of the drop off, but I don't think I'll get lucky twice and time the bottom.
