What does my interviewer mean?

I interviewed at an EB for the 2025 SA position. The email suggested it would be a 30-minute technical interview, but the interviewer spent the first 10 minutes asking me behavioral questions. At the end of the interview, he said, "You are already very impressive to receive the first round. I wish you the best of luck in your future career journey. There are still plenty of opportunities out there, and you have a strong resume." Does that imply rejection?
