I can see the search ranking position volatility at a very high range around 9.5/10. This core-update just came after the spam update which lasted for about a day or two. But I didn’t not seen an improvements in removing or pushing down those spam URL within the SERPs.

We can wait to find out the real effects of this Google Core Update only after it completes (in 2 weeks). Right now some keywords are moving between page 1 and page 2 almost daily, which suggests Google may be testing smaller algorithm adjustments rather than rolling out one large update.
