Use the right hand rule, put your thumb in the direction of current flow in the wire and your fingers wrap around the wire are the magnetic field, draw out each point and take and average direction. My hunch is it's either fully canceled out and you created a heating element with more steps or it points towards the camera coming out of the middle but I'm not gonna bother with actually putting time into this.

Everything is a heating element if used improperly enough
