In reality, neither coordinate is negative. Both y coordinates are points on the secp256k1 curve, which is defined modulo p, and so there are no negative coordinates, as anything negative simply loops round mod p and becomes positive again. And so we use even and odd to differentiate the two y coordinates.

lets guess
P1 is Even
P2 is Odd
