The condition held, but XMR net UNDERPERFORMED BTC sharply (ratio down ~60%+) — Monero rose in USD but fell hard against Bitcoin, opposite to the prediction.

Evidence of what happened
Monero (XMR) rose modestly over the window: ~$108 open in Oct 2020, ~$126 close Oct 2020, ~$156 at end of Dec 2020, ~$138-156 in Jan 2021 (Jan open $156.43). Around the statement date (~Oct 9, 2020) XMR was ~$110; around the deadline (~Jan 9, 2021) XMR was ~$140-155 — roughly a 1.3x gain in USD.
Over the same window Bitcoin rose ~4x, from ~$11,000 (early Oct 2020) to above $40,000 (Jan 7-8, 2021). The implied XMR/BTC ratio therefore fell from ~0.0100 to ~0.0036 — a decline of roughly 60-65%. The stated condition (BTC holding above its 20-week MA) held throughout, so the conditional applies.
