Trend icon for line chart?

Hi folks,

 

Wondering if you can help. I have a number of line charts with trend lines. The trends can mean different things and do not always mean a trend upwards is positive. This example chart shows quality, it is currently trending upwards (bad):

I'd like to add a simple calculated icon that makes this easy to interpret if we're trending in the right direction.

Something that looks like so:

With a page design that would be something like this, depending on if the trend direction is good/bad:

Anyone know if this is possible?
