Low levels of VIX (around 20 or under 20) are predictive of complacency in the market, and a probable topping phase. High levels are predictive of extreme behavior, and a probable reversal.

Of course, it helps to look at an average of VIX, not just the number. VIX can remain low for long periods of time (market rising), but when the average starts rising above 25-30, it can be used as a warning signal that markets will be choppy.
