I think I may have solved the mystery. I have inspected the leaves with a digital microscope and there are no signs of pests. Potting media is moist. Not soggy, not dry. I never really let the pot get bone dry and there are no wrinkling in any P bulbs. old or new.
I really think its a light issue with the leaves curling to find it. Since its the newest leaf, probably more sensitive to this. So, like I said this orchid literally had full sun for the past few months (I spent all summer increasing full sun). Now coming into the shortest days of the year, the window that it is in faces west. The sun is quite south and the curtain drapes on the corner of the window where this plant is. I wished I had a south facing window but I dont. Plant looks fine other than that so Im not going to worry about this and keep an eye on it.
