i recently reached 1750 in chess com ( bullet ) but I noticed a pattern whenever I won 4-5 games in a row i lost another 4-5 games in a row and it happens consistently. Can anyone tell is it happening with me only or you've experienced the same pattern

Only with you. It is amazing how you don’t know about tilt and I will explain it to you.

If you lose 1–2 games (I suggest stopping after 1), take a break and don’t rush to get Elo. That’s called tilt. Tilt makes you play fast and lose more. If you continue, slow down and use your time wisely.

The OP plays bullet. Slowing down isn't going to help them win more games.

If it was a loop we would all have been the same rating ( 100 )

It isn't happening to anyone else, and it isn't happening to you either.

The last time you won 4 in a row, you lost 1, and you won the next.

The last time you won 6 in a row, you lost 2, and you won the next.

This is an incredibly common experience in fast time controls, often called the "winner's curse," where a string of victories leads to mental fatigue and a slightly inflated rating. This combination means you start playing below your new rating's level right as you begin facing tougher opponents, creating the perfect storm for a counterbalancing losing streak.

The elo doesn't lie. Sure, there may be issues with how accurate a website elo is compared to IRL, but that is why you can always say "I am a 1750 on chess dot com," which also tells people what they need to know.

We all have streaks of victories, streaks of defeats. It's quite natural. Don't worry about it. This can be due to anything from lacking focus to just having bad luck.

I would also point out that 'Bullet' is probably the category least impacted by the small amount of online cheaters.
