The phrase "indicated the opposite" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It means that something or someone has shown or suggested the reverse or contrary of something else. This phrase can be used in a variety of contexts, but is often used when talking about a reaction or response that goes against what was expected or previously stated. Example: The results of the study indicated the opposite of what we had hypothesized. We had thought that more sleep would lead to better test scores, but the data actually showed that less sleep resulted in higher scores. In this example, "indicated the opposite" is used to show that the study's findings went against the initial hypothesis or expectation.
