You can determine the sign of the reactance by simply tuning higher in frequency. IF the reactance increases it is inductive, if it DECREASES, it is capacitive reactance. Remember the basic formula for inductive is Xl = 2Pi fL, while the inverse formula is for capacitive reactance, thus it decreases with frequency increase.
