What's wrong if you reveal your keyword? My keyword is "banana"think family guy
Nothing wrong with it if it was intentional and OP doesn't mind others knowing it. Just most people like to keep it quiet to prevent others from competing. I wasn't sure if he meant to out it, or whether it was accidental, so thought I'd give a heads up

I'm always a bit doubtful about the accuracy of webmaster tools for position, but don't tend to use other tools much to track SERPs these days so don't know how often they are likely to incorrect.
In this instance, I would probably check manually to see where it's at. At least then you know which position is accurate for the meantime and which system you are better off trusting to monitor it moving fowards.

Yes also some friend checked. So it's double checked.
I don't know how serpchecker defines a position, but in Google Search Console the position value shown in the Search Analytics report is the position of the topmost link to your site or page in search results, averaged across all queries in which your site appeared. So, for example:
1. If one query returned your site at positions 2, 4, and 6, its position is counted as 2 (the topmost position).
2. If a second query returned your site at positions 3, 5, and 9, its position is counted as 3 (the topmost position).
3. The average position across these two queries is (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5.
As you can guess, there could be significant differences in position reporting, depending on the method used.
If you count in the fact that everybody's results are nowadays personalized (and localized), the differences between tools can be even bigger.
Personally, I have no reason not to trust Google Search Console data.

guys i just want to update you than my website is back at #8...What i did ? Firstly i was listening to gurus bull shit and i changed keyword density from 1.6% to 0.8%.. Guess what my website bounced to position #50 and was stable there for a week.. Then i decided to change keyword density back to the original i have and my website bounced back to #8 in only 2 days..
So in the short words Keyword density is big factor in ranking.. My advice don't listen to anyone and just make your tests.

I fully support your latter conclusion (do your own tests), but I don't believe the reason for such a significant drop in rankings can be caused by simply changing the keyword density.

I do - I've been through the same thing last month, but in my case changes I made resulted in KD too high, when I went through pages and fixed them one by one they bounced back.
