I have not read that any particular directions are evident in the sense you suggest though.
This page has three pictures: https://wmap.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/bb_cosmo_fluct.html
The first is the actual observation. It's boring and looks completely homogeneous.
So you subtract the average value, which brings you to the second picture. Its temperature is 0 on average, but shows the obvious dipole.
When you remove the dipole, you get the last picture, which show only the physical temperature fluctuations.
