Outcome evidence
Bitcoin fell from its $64,895 peak (2021-04-14) to ~$31,000 by 2021-05-19 (~52% peak-to-trough) and to ~$29k–30k in late June/July 2021 — a >50% decline, far exceeding the ≥20% threshold, all inside the 2021-03-10→2021-09-10 window.
Chainalysis: the May 2021 crash was a broad, class-wide correction driven by retail selling; total crypto market cap fell from ~$2.5T peak with nearly all major assets down double-digit percentages (ETH ~-40%, DOGE ~-45%).
