Zombie
In finance, a zombie is usually a company that can keep operating and pay the interest on its debt, but cannot reduce the original amount it borrowed. That original amount is called the principal.
A company may earn enough to cover salaries, rent, and loan interest, then rely on a new loan when the old one comes due. Low borrowing costs can keep this cycle going for years. A rise in rates from 3% to 7%, however, makes refinancing much more expensive.
Not every weak or loss-making business is a zombie. The term usually describes a company that remains alive mainly because lenders continue extending credit, rather than because the business has returned to solid financial health.

Zweig Breadth Thrust
A market rally may look impressive even when only a few large stocks are rising. The Zweig Breadth Thrust checks whether the strength is spreading across a much wider part of the market.
The indicator compares the number of advancing shares with the total number of advancing and declining shares, then smooths the result over ten days. A signal appears when the reading rises from below 40% to above 61.5% within ten trading days.
A move from 36% to 63%, for instance, shows a rapid shift from weak participation to broad buying across many stocks. The signal was developed by Martin Zweig and appears rarely, which is one reason technical analysts pay attention when it occurs.
