Price chart or price index: which Palworld tool to use
Use the price chart when you want one card's number, and use the price index when you want the direction of the whole Palworld card market. The chart is a per-card table with market, low, high, graded and marketplace links; the index is a single equal-weight benchmark set to a base of 1,000 that answers whether Palworld cards as a category went up or down.

What the price chart answers
"What is this exact card worth today, and where do I buy or sell it?" The chart is card-level: every printed number has a row, a 30-day sparkline with hoverable turning points, and direct marketplace links for buy, sold and graded copies.
What the price index answers
"Is the Palworld card market rising or falling?" The index equal-weights its constituents so a four-figure gold card cannot dominate the reading, publishes 7-, 14- and 30-day trend snapshots, breadth (how many cards rose versus fell) and the top movers.
Why the same card appears in both
The index is computed from the same validated snapshots the chart displays, so the numbers agree by design. Clicking a constituent in the index opens that exact printing on its card page — including parallels, which resolve to the printing you clicked rather than the base number.
Which one to open first
Buying or selling one card: chart. Deciding whether to buy at all this month, or citing the market in a video or article: index. Tracking your own copies and profit: the collection binder, which prices your holdings from the same feed.
Reading both together
A card up 20% while the index is flat is card-specific demand — usually a tournament result or a reprint scare. A card up 20% while the index is up 18% is just the tide coming in, and it will go back out.
