The same behaviour, it recovered to the top, was there 2-3 days, and dropped from index again..

Since the 17th December its a mess. Fluctuations every single day. Its kinda depressing, but I am for sure this won't stay like this. The only question is when is the next "big" or "unexpected" update which will fix this (i cant get worse)

There is no sense. I lost 70+% of my positions, now you can find on the 1st place articles with 200-300 words, with 0 value, and my articles with 1.5k in-depth content are deindexed...The website is clean, 0 PBNs, 0ant grey or black hat method...

So even if you google the url, it is not showing? Or just not top 100+

In my case it's also deindexed, not showing at all

That sucks. Mine still show if I google the URL, just not in the SERPS for KW. However, same result, no traffic.
None of my URLs have been deindexed
Some keywords are dancing like crazy (but they never brought huge traffic), the rest are where they were before Jan7th. Not enough to justify a 40% traffic loss.
This (the 7th of Jan) is the weirdest update I've ever seen.
If you see traffic loss but most of your keywords are where they were before, I'd say sit and wait. I've seen shit like this before when they do a major update, this thing needs time to get updated across different data centers. I would not be surprised if someone (in google) screw up big time, it had happened in the past.

I think someone did some overhours (a Google employee and his female-assistant) and shit happened on that desk! Maybe they pulled out the plug from Internet or power. It happened to Visa.
Code:

Session Duration goes from about 2 min. to 30 sec. And this one is no different. It makes no sense. This needs to settle down before doing anything or jumping to conclusions. Thanks for the Visa link, it made me realize how human stupidity can cause a major outage ...

It's all over the place, I feel like its a big cycle the in and out, is just part of the cycle it's going through, I am now noticing another of my sites pop-out and rank where it did 3 weeks ago and I am now looking at this as part of a cycle as my other 2 big sites that went out then back then out again will come back after this other site leaves, I'm noticing a trend with some of my sites like I am going round in a huge circle and can now kinda predict what stage each site is at. I have been writing it down and watching it very closely. Has anyone with a lot of sites noticed this kinda trend? I hope I'm explaining that ok as I know what I mean lol
Another thing I noticed in my niches well some of them is the plural keywords (s) a lot of keywords that end in the plural ie S seem to be normal sites ranking but the keywords without the S are all parasites and nonsense the same with some two-word keywords not all but deffo a big majority. Anyone else noticing similar?
Hang in their guys it surely can't stay like this as its just an absolute riot, at some point along the way they will roll it right back. ( I hope)
It's an absolute headache for us all and a worrying time but we just need to keep reporting here what we find and come up with a plan. Testing and testing and throwing out more sites and parasites and everything and anything to see what sticks.
What a Headache this is! Every day refreshing a million times and you see a glimmer of hope only to remember it might be gone in the next refresh you do, this is just so unstable for us all and very unsettling.
I just noticed eBay ranking in the adult niche now as well. if this is not a clue of how messed it up it is I don't know what is) All because of an eBay seller mentioned a word in their description that could be adult or not, Google has ranked it in one of my niches
