$X\to [a,b]\cap\mathbb Q$, where $0\leq a<b\leq 1$,
is a continuous self-map of $X$.


Fix $\theta \in (0,1)\setminus \mathbb Q$ and two monotone sequences of irrational numbers
$1>a_0>\ldots>a_k>a_{k+1}> \theta$
and $0<b_0<\ldots <b_k<b_{k+1}<\theta$
such that $a_k\to \theta$ and $b_k\to \theta$.
Pick also $\tilde a \in (a_1,a_0)\cap\mathbb Q$
and $\tilde b\in (b_0,b_1)\cap\mathbb Q$.

We construct an increasing bijection $f:X\to [\tilde b,\tilde a]\cap\mathbb Q$ by chooseing arbitrary bijections between the rational intervals
$[0,b_0)\to[\tilde b, b_1)$, $(a_0,1]\to(a_1,\tilde a]$ and $(b_k,b_{k+1})\to(b_{k+1},b_{k+2})$,
$(a_{k+2},a_{k+1})\to(a_{k+1},a_k)$ for $k\geq 0$.
It is evident that union of those bijections
has no fixed point.
From now on, to simplify the notation,
every interval is assumed to consist exclusively of rational numbers.

We construct an increasing bijection $f:X\to [\tilde b,\tilde a]$
by choosing arbitrary order isomorphism between the rational intervals:
$[0,b_0)\to[\tilde b, b_1)$, $(a_0,1]\to(a_1,\tilde a]$,
$(b_k,b_{k+1})\to(b_{k+1},b_{k+2})$, and $(a_{k+2},a_{k+1})\to(a_{k+1},a_k)$ for all $k\geq 0$.
Function $f$ being union of those increasing bijections
has no fixed point.
