Any body know if it is possible to know point is positive or negative? Or it is imposssible to know?

Only after solving the DL for that point, otherwise it would be trivial to solve the DLP on that curve. In a way, there are no negative or positive points because of the modular group.

Agree that it will be trivial task to solve key, but not agree that  there are no negative or positive points.

There are no negative or positive points, because -1 = n-1 mod n, then -1 is negative and n-1 is positive, but the point is the same.
