BTC's 50-day SMA crosses above its 200-day SMA by early March 2020
Golden cross formed ~Feb 18–19, 2020, inside the Feb 16–Mar 2 window; the ~1-day source ambiguity does not affect resolution since both candidate dates are within the window. Criterion is about MA crossover timing only, not subsequent price action (BTC crashed below $4k weeks later in the COVID selloff).

Evidence of what happened
Bitcoin's daily golden cross (50-day MA crossing above 200-day MA) occurred February 18, 2020, with BTC trading near $9,949 — within the Feb 16–Mar 2, 2020 criterion window. (One source dates it Feb 19; either date falls inside the window.)
CoinDesk (Feb 14, 2020) reported BTC was 'closing on' a daily golden cross, with the 50-day and 200-day MAs about to cross, confirming the cross was imminent days before the deadline.
Bitbo 50/200-day MA golden-cross chart lists a February 2020 golden-cross event (the signal was subsequently invalidated by the mid-March 2020 COVID crash, but the crossover itself formed in mid-February).
