Hello. Is there a way to invert the moving average - exponential? I would like to see my moving averages upside down if possible. Thank you!

Have a look at this page:
Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies

You can multiply it by -1 or use a formula like 1/Value.

I've chosen the Study Subgraph Invert based on my preferred Moving Average - Exponential. However, when I select Chart Region 1 (where I prefer the subgraph to be), it does not appear to be present. Is this the right study to invert my moving average?

When you invert the data, you are turning them into very small numbers (1/x). Therefore, the moving average is not being displayed with the main price graph, as the values are somewhere down between 0 and 1.

You would need to set the inverted study to have scale of Independent to see it with the Main Price Graph. Refer to the following:
