  Hi,

  Yes, expect temporary fluctuation in site ranking for a few weeks during the move. Takes longer for large sites. Especially if it involves URL changes. But if you do the site move correctly, like setting up 301 redirections from the old URL to the new one, verify the new site in Google Search Console, submit sitemaps, etc — then your site’s rankings will settle down over time.
