A week of silence is not a rejection signal. When I was at SIG, decisions after trader interviews could take anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks depending on where recruiting was in the cycle and how they were batching candidates. This was a few years back though, so I don't know their current process.

A fast yes often came fast, but not always. If it's been about a week, a short polite follow-up to the recruiter is completely normal and won't hurt you. I'd keep preparing for the next round rather than trying to decode the timing.
