Abstract Seeking new order parameters and the related broken symmetry and studying their relationship with phase transition have been important topics in condensed matter physics. Here, by using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we confirm the helical spin texture caused by spin-layer locking in the nodal region in the cuprate superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ and discover the anisotropy of spin polarizations at nodes along $\varGamma$–$X$ and $\varGamma$–$Y$ directions. The breaking of $C_{4}$ rotational symmetry in electronic spin texture may give deeper insights into understanding the ground state of cuprate superconductors.
