New Week Opening Gaps?

I’m wondering if we are going to see big price gaps when the market opens again tomorrow.
In the last hours of NY session, the equities rebounded sharply along with yen and dollar losing some of their gains, but I don’t think this is over.

Yen Strength

I left my EUR/JPY position opened over the weekend anticipating that the pair might open much lower after the weekend but it didn't materialize.
