Window functions might be useful to detect polarity changes:

postgres=# create table time_series (time int, value int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into time_series values (1, -5), (2, -5), (3, 10), (4, -3);
INSERT 0 4
postgres=# select time,
                  value,
                  sign(lag(value) over (order by time)) != sign(value)
as flipped
             from time_series;
 time | value | flipped
------+-------+---------
    1 |    -5 |
    2 |    -5 | f
    3 |    10 | t
    4 |    -3 | t
(4 rows)
