  We demonstrate how the technique of ultrafast resonant x-ray scattering can
be applied to imaging dynamics of electronic wave packets in crystals. We study
scattering patterns from crystals with electron dynamics in valence bands
taking into account that inelastic and elastic scattering events induced by a
broad-band probe pulse cannot be separated through the spectroscopy of the
scattered photon. As a result, scattering patterns are not determined by the
structure factor at the time of measurement, but can encode the instantaneous
electron current between scattering atoms. We provide examples of how the
interatomic electron current in a periodic structure can be extracted from a
single scattering pattern by considering valence electron hole motion in
(KBr)$_{108}$ and Ge$_{83}$ clusters.
