accepting Can you accept the alternative hypothesis! if the global test is significant but the pairwise comparisons are not?

My hypothesis states that " There"there would be significant differences among a, b, c and d group on the X measure." I I used ANOVA to see the group differences which came out to be significant. After that I applied the Tukey test post hoc-hoc to understand the comparisons further. However, I did not get significant group differences after Tukey. My My supervisor says that the hypothesis is partially accepted! can. Can you explain me how, or if this statement is correct!?
