For new websites with Low DA this happens, i have experienced similar on my sites, but the sites with high DA or old sites have quite stable rankings, my theory is that weekly updates are rolled out on Monday, that's why there is fluctuation for new sites with low DA

My site is 5 years old and has DA more than 30. Would there be any other specific reason for the drop?

There are a number of reasons:
* As people search for different things over the weekends and thus google can serve different results
* If you use GSC then it's natural to see your rankings lower as people search for your keywords less
* Natural Google shuffling

Could be a variation in search volume along with sandbox effect
Totally depends on KWs you're ranking for

On weekends, people are less active on work-related stuff or B2B content. Mondays, they spend time catching up on tasks and urgent priorities. Then tuesday, they return to browsing habit.

Focus on the long perspective instead of constantly checking your positions. Where do you want your site to be in 3, 6, 9 and 12 months time?

Ranking drop on weekends and Mondays could be due to reduced user activity or lower search demand during those times, impacting engagement metrics. Search engines may also adjust rankings based on fresh content and weekend algorithm updates.
