Some quick data via CNBC on what happens after at least a 8% gain in Q1 since 1950. There have been 13 instances since 1950. In all but the crash year of 1987, the market ended higher for the year from where it ended in March. Obviously the pace tends to moderate. 
Even in 87, the market ended the year in positive territory, despite giving back most of the Q1 gain.
