The last piece of advice noted (cutting the spike at a nod close to where it had bloomed) is if one wanted to "force" another bloom.
This is fine, but the orchid will take much longer to spike & bloom again after a "forced bloom" has occurred. Also, the next bloom may not have as many buds.
Cut a spike at the base after it's done flowing. Only then will it grow new leaves and store energy and nutrients to produce a new spike that will contain more buds than the previous.

Nothing is wrong. This variety of orchids is just going through a normal cycle. Simply cut the dead spike (stem) off as closely as you can to its base, remembering to sanitize your cutting tool before use.
The majority of phaleanopsis ("Moth Orchids"), after a spike has blossomed and dropped its flowers, the spike will die-off. This occurs so that the plant can focus on growing new leaves as well as a new spike that will produce more flowers than the previous spike.
