No, the FR24 data (though not very granular) shows an initial loss of height, followed by a climb to above the cruise FL and then a not particularly rapid descent back to FL340, all over the course of about two and a half minutes.

It's hard to reach any firm conclusions based on such sparse data, but it looks like it was the initial pushover that resulted in the reported heads hitting the ceiling.
