Your p-bulbs look fine, so I don't think you underwatered.
The spikes look like the slightly twist. Did you change the plant's orientation to the sun once it spiked..
Other than that, I'm clueless...

I bought this guy last fall... do the spikes always curl like this? There are no bugs. Did I under water or something?
I tell you - these guys hate me...

I have a Brassia/Oncidium hybrid which, during a certain adolescent period of spike growth, will actually lash its bloom spike back and forth from day to day. Might be a response to light along with proper nutrition. In the morning I would wake up and see the spike curled all the way to the right and by the time I got back home from work, the spike would have swung all the way over to the other side. Time-lapse photography would be interesting to see. This stops once the spike is long enough.
Or it could be the humidity situation. My humidity is very low much of the time and with oncs I have to keep an eye out for spikes which get caught up in the leaves from which they emerge. Even after I release them they are prone to twisting and getting deformed in many strange ways.
I think it is probably light and humidity. If you stake the spike, it should eventually correct itself.
Cheers,

Sometimes the spike gets caught up in the leaf and grows against it, kinking itself. It should hurt the flowers at all.
