Bounce rate of your website does effect seo. Search engines look at how long visitors stay on your site. If people leave after a few seconds search engines do not think content of your website is good or relevant to the keywords or search terms.

Bounce rate is not a ranking factor, but it indirectly affects SEO and your search rankings.

The high bounce rate will affect the dwell time, and a low time on site can affect your SEO. If your visitors are instantly clicking the back button after entering your page, Google might decrease your ranking.

Also, a reason behind the high bounce rate could be that your website is not mobile-friendly or takes a lot of time to load, which are ranking factors.
