Both hands raised in celebration: praise, victory, finally. ":raised_hands: for the team" is standard Slack gratitude, and it carries everywhere.
If you are trying to read into it
Raised hands: celebration and praise. It has a religious reading for some senders and a purely celebratory one for most, and both are common enough that neither is safe to assume.
