Sure, this is possible but each implementation will probably be
unique to the specific problem you're working with.

For example, I did something like this once for future values of
price given a possible future value for RSI.  I had to invent a
formula that calculated RSI backwards.  I used plot1[-1](value)
instead of plot1(value) to offset the plot by 1 bar into the future.

Another example I can recall is the DerivativeMA indicator, which
calculates what the next bar's price should be for a simple moving
average to maintain its current slope.  Again, the indicator is
plotted offset 1 bar into the future.
