Wall Street's 'fear gauge' is soaring again, as investors spooked by Thursday's market decline rushed to load up on options protection, but analysts said the intensity of the move in volatility does not necessarily point to a market crash.

Prior to Thursday’s market drop investors were lapping up bullish call options in a bet that the market would continue to post new highs, said Rick Rieder, who runs BlackRock’s $23.2 billion Global Allocation Fund.

“The VIX is going to continue to trend higher for the next two months, regardless of what the equity markets do,” Frederick said.
