the opposite reactance occurs with a folded monopole."

Why? look above in Roy`s posting:
"---EZNEC shows a feedpoint impedance of 46.1 + j1893 ohms."

The + j1893 is inductive, not capacitive. It`s the reactance shown by a
too short (less than 1/4-wave) folded monopole or short-circuit stub.

I believe I am on the same page with Roy.
