Bitcoin prints a local price peak followed by a decline of ≥10% from that peak at some point within the window (by 2021-06-08).
Criterion (a local peak followed by ≥10% decline within window) is clearly met: peak $64,895 on 2021-04-14 → ≥10% drawdown completed well before 2021-06-08 (fell >30% by 2021-05-19, >50% by late June). resolved_on set to 2021-05-19, a date by which the ≥10% threshold was unambiguously crossed. No conflicting evidence.

Evidence of what happened
Bitcoin printed a local/all-time peak of $64,895 on 2021-04-14 (within the 2021-03-08→2021-06-08 window), then declined sharply — by 2021-05-19 it had fallen ~30% to ~$31,000, and lost ~56% of its value by end of June. A ≥10% decline from a local peak was easily satisfied inside the window.
Wikipedia (Cryptocurrency bubble): after the mid-April 2021 peak, by 2021-05-19 Bitcoin had dropped ~30% to ~$31,000 amid China regulatory action and Tesla's payment suspension.
