Yes. Delta will be >0 for calls and <0 for puts. If you sold a call, you are short, Delta doesn't reverse itself. Delta will still be positive. As Delta approaches 1 the option is getting further and further into the money and becoming more valuable to the call holder but, the investor who wrote the call option is at a loss.
