Interviewer says « good luck »

Hi, so I had a final interview for an analyst position in IB and I wanted to ask a question at the end (5m’ before the planned end) but the interviewer said « I have to go, bye and good luck with your application(/s I don’t remember) process ».

Should I assume that is a definitive no?

lol! You know, I've been in this industry 4 years and every time an interviews says "good luck" to me, I always panic. So much anxiety. Idk what it means though.
