It's the opposite in this case. It's signaling a reversion to the mean after an above standard deviation move higher in volatility (above the bollinger band).  VIX and SPX are typically inversely correlated. So, long SPX, SPY, etc on the trigger.

    If the VIX closed BELOW the lower band and then closed back inside, then you would be looking for higher vol and short SPX.
