The Dow Jones industrial average is just 5 percent from its all-time highs, and one technician has three names that could take the index back to its old records and onto new highs. To Chris Verrone, head of technical analysis at Strategas Research Partners, the clear Dow winners will be J.P. Morgan, Home Depot and Apple.

Money in the banks

"The first, J.P. Morgan, clearly a big important bank stock. What we like about it is every time it comes right back to support, it checks support and then ultimately it resumes higher," Verrone told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Monday. "We think J.P. Morgan is a big help for the index." J.P. Morgan hit an all-time high Feb. 27, but has since retreated 7 percent. Its shares remain nearly 4 percent higher for the year, setting the stock up for a fourth straight year of gains.

A sweet Home Depot chart

"The second name that I want to show you here is Home Depot, very important consumer name. Again, similar story," said Verrone, highlighting several recent moves where the stock touched support and moved higher. "We're starting to emerge from this base. Very good-looking picture. We'd be long here." Home Depot has gained more than 5 percent in the year to date, making it the tenth best performer in the Dow in 2018. It is up 31 percent over the past 12 months.

Apple to $1 trillion and beyond
