1.) I can’t still believe it.

Is this grammatically correct?

In what context do you wish to say those words?

In what context do you wish to say those words?

I mean, up to this time I do not believe what happened.

 

[5jj]

If your lack of belief is on-going, I still can't believe it is the natural word order.

When will “I can’t still believe it.” be acceptable/ grammatically correct?

 

[5jj]

Rarely. It's not worth bothering about.

You/he/she/they can't still believe it/that! is possible when the speaker is expressing surprise at this incredible situation.

When "I can't still believe it." be acceptable/ grammatically correct?

Unlike 5jj, I can't think of any context where it would be natural.

5jj can speak for himself, of course, but I guess he was thinking of a case in which additional information has caused us to cease to believe something.
