A centrally symmetric analogue of the cyclic polytope, the bicyclic polytope, was defined in [BN08]. The bicyclic polytope is defined by the convex hull of finitely many points on the symmetric moment curve where the set of points has a symmetry about the origin. In this paper, we study the Barvinok-Novik orbitope, the convex hull of the symmetric moment curve. It was proven in [BN08] that the orbitope is locally $k$-neighborly, that is, the convex hull of any set of $k$ distinct points on an arc of length not exceeding $\phi_k$ in $\mathbb{S}^1$ is a $(k-1)$-dimensional face of the orbitope for some positive constant $\phi_k$. We prove that we can choose $\phi_k $ bigger than $\gamma k^{-3/2} $ for some positive constant $\gamma$.
