I think they are fixing what they messed up in the last update.

I usually see big movements on spam updates, not the core ones but lets see.

My site's rank went down. I guess its time for me to reduce ads and stop posting for a while.

This update is already rolling since 2 weeks ago. Those fuckers from google are just misleading all webmasters.

From my experience, when sites gets boost prior to update announcement, get tanked after. I hope is not your case.

From my data a major google update started around 24th February. We track 500+ sites daily. We're been seeing a number of our sites drop out of from serps starting from the 24th. Yet no reported update.
I think Google have strategically released the AI overviews to coincide with March core update. Webmasters blame drop of traffic on core update as opposed to real reason of AI overview stealing your content and removing all need for the user to visit your site.
As if ranking #1 actually means anything anymore, thanks to [AI overviews][sponsored ads][featured snippets][sponsored ads][frequently asked questions][sponsored ads][forum posts][sponsored ads][social boxes][sponsored ads][google business pages][sponsored ads]

Exactly in same period some of my sites started to tank.
This happens to me since 3 years ago on every update.
