Today we see the highest fluctuations this year, even higher than the Panda 4.0 update. Although Google has not yet made a statement, we suspect they soon will since a spike like this surely will not go unnoticed. 

The fluctuations seem significant as they are in the same range as the Hummingbird update which gave a Risk Level of 89 and the Authorship Rich Snippet update with a Risk Level of 113.
